Sunflower Sweating in the HOT Texas Sun  by grannysue

Sunflower Sweating in the HOT Texas Sun

View large if you can. Whatever this liquid is on the Sunflower, it produced it, I never realized that Sunflowers did this. It is really HOT and dry in the Fort Worth area today. I did not spray anything on it. Found growing alongside the road.
Thank you for viewing and commenting, I appreciate all of you.
Thanks to Susan @maestro12 for letting me know that it is oil that is leaking from the seeds.
Beautiful

Love this. It is a nice close up with great lighting. I used to live in Kansas and remember the sunflowers with fondness. Going to San Antonio in September, so looking forward to seeing some of Texas!

Fabulous, Linda. Amazing color. Today as we were driving on the freeway we passed a field of sunflowers and it was odd but some of them were A WHOLE LOT TALLER than others. I have never seen that before.

@cimes1 Hi Carole, thank you for visiting. I was doing better but at home today, not feeling up to par. Hope all is well with you. Hope you come back soon. I missed everyone while I was taking my break and some have left since then.

Beautiful macro.

@maestro12 @humphreyhippo The seeds don't even appear to be developed yet. Isn't that more likely to be nectar, which sunflowers do produce?

Great shot !

Super focus xx
