HOLY . . . . . !

My friend across the street, the Legendary Gardener, didn't put in corn this year.

What he did put in grew high, and higher, and higher.

To my great surprise . . .


. . . the six, seven and eight foot tall stalks were suddenly topped with bright yellow flowers!


In fact these were some kind of monster, mutant sunflower plants!

I must say, along with the lower and smaller ones, they do add a nice flair of color to the neighborhood.

  2. You do "surprise" well! Must have been all that time you spent with Leo.
    Sunflowers do look lovely.

  3. They're showing here as well, and will do so for weeks to come. I find them quite cheerful.

  4. Nobody's gonna sneak in and pick one of those! Unless they bring a saw.
