My heart skipped a beat this morning as I checked if anything happened overnight on the security camera.
The large sunflower (pictured last post) had fallen during the night, a little after 1 a.m. It rained more often than not for the last day, and we needed it terribly, but the conditions just put it down. It was only about seven in the morning but I immediately went out and wound up putting in three stakes to stabilize it. The little one next to it came up with it but the cage that is still around it was enough support for that.
And after raining all day we just got a bit of sun so here it is now. I think it's going to make it.
That flower I was planning on bagging so I can collect the seeds, and it has at least 10 more buds on it to come yet. The one on the right also has multiple buds coming. I'm thankful for the sunflowers I have, but it has been a brutal year for them, overall.
