Woke up this morning to this beauty smiling at us from beside the garage, one of our less attended areas. The Wife put the seeds out in mid-April and the first flowers are just now appearing. They'll be beautiful from the road with the off-yellow and white backdrop of the garage behind them. And, just as with some of the best things that show off around the yard, they've required very little, if any, attention.

So cheerful! One lone sunflower is the only thing blooming in my garden this week, but with our recent rains, I expect some more cactus flowers soon. Happy GTS,

We have another couple of sunflowers that are almost ready to burst into smiles. We grew a few last year that were as big around as a hubcap! Pretty things, sunflowers. Post pics of your cactus flowers when they appear. Love the mourning dove pic!
