ROUGE ROYALE Sunflower Variety
September and early October is SUNFLOWER Season here in God's Growing Garden. Every year, during the month of September (and sometimes going into October), I feature the sunflower varieties that I grew during the summer. I grew 5 different sunflower varieties this year but one of them didn't germinate, so I will only be featuring 4 varieties in the Sunflower Series of 2022. Today is the final post in this series for 2022. I am featuring: ROUGE ROYALE variety. This variety is truly stunning and looks as if there is a light behind the middle part of each flower. It really does look like it has a self powered light. I also get an "Art Nouveau" feel from this flower's color combinations.
Before showing the featured pictures, I realized that after 11 years of featuring sunflowers I have never explained why they are my favorite flower. Sunflowers always turn towards the sun - you can literally see them gently turning throughout the day to follow the sun. To be very clear - I am NOT a "sun" worshiper. However, I am a "Son" worshiper: Jesus Christ The Son of God and I strive every day to grow and turn towards Him in every aspect of my life.
ENJOY the following pictures!
All photos were taken by me (Angie Ouellette-Tower) and the sunflowers were all grown in my garden.

The photo below was taken on a very windy day and it's almost as if you can see the movement of the sunflowers in the sun ray swooshes: ![unnamed_-_2022-08-05T171425.140](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/o501/AngieOuelletteTower/unnamed_-_2022-08-05T171425.140.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) |
