I planted a whole row of sunflowers this year from seeds I rescued at the bottom of Zorro's cage.

They're amazing plants - the way they move and rotate their leaves during the day to follow the sun just blows my mind. Then at night, they relax them, let them droop straight down, and "depressurize" the fluid in them back into the soil.

The tallest so far is just reaching 2 feet, and one little fvcker decided to bloom early. It's still March! The outside florets are just now opening and I can see little peeks of yellow inside.

Anyway - my sunflowers say hello to yours!
