Still so hot.
“Maybe if we act like umbrellas, we’ll stay cooler.”

“Too late, I think we’re melting.”

I hadn’t realised the different characteristics that these flowers could take on. This is a ‘Fluffy’ one.
It’s very hot here now. Hovering around 40 degrees C. for days now. My sunflowers are struggling bravely in the heat, but the constant heat takes a toll.
This poor old sunflower is a little bent out of shape.
I grew this massive sunflower to welcome in the new year. The weather has been unusually wet and windy and my poor sunflowers look a lot worse for wear. This one’s still smiling.
Also for Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge (FOTD).
I can’t believe that Spring has passed so quickly. Summer is beginning to heat up and my Sunflowers are in various stages of growth.
Here’s a shy one, almost flowering.
The flower buds are beautiful too
Beautiful, even in black and white.
But best of all is the the colour of the flower in full bloom.
