And now, for the final post in our sunflower saga. In mid-June -- when the sunflowers were going to seed -- there were several days we saw a beautiful goldfinch perched atop one of the flowers and nibbling seeds. Gemma was actually the first to spot it, so that was very exciting. Try as I might though, I wasn't able to capture a picture. After a few hundred-degree (ugh) days, Gemma harvested some seeds to save and plant next year, and alas this is the end of our sunflower story. For this year anyways. ;-D We capped everything off by reviewing the plant-cycle in the book Sunflowers from the library, and the sunflower pot is now housing my long-awaited lantana.
