RED SUN Sunflower Variety

Usually September is SUNFLOWER Season here in God's Growing Garden.  However, the last of my sunflower postings are delayed due to the fact that my mom was called home to Jesus last week.  Today I am featuring: RED SUN variety which is the third out of four total varieties grown this year and being featured in the Sunflower Series of 2023.  

This variety was bought from:

(click the title to purchase this amazing seed packet)


Before showing the featured pictures, I wanted to remind you why sunflowers 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.

This variety is like a miracle - It has orange and red sunflowers growing on the same stem!!  At first I thought some strange cross-pollination had happened because the flowers looked mostly orange like this one:

But then I saw this (orange & red flowers on the same plant!!):

  1. Angie, you're in my thoughts and prayers. I love sunflowers...sunflowers and palm trees. They always make me smile, just so pretty. Sunflower seeds aren't bad either :) Thanks so much for linking up at the #UnlimitedLinkParty 136. Pinned.
