One of our neighbours is growing sunflowers in his maize crop and I have had a pretty close eye on them waiting for the first sign of colour .. So this morning when going down the road I was taken with the early morning light catching the newly opened sunflowers beautifully and lucky for me these ones were just by a gap in the hedge..
Sunflowers are planted with the maize to add a bit of extra protein to the maize for the cows when they eat it after harvest ( it is made into maize silage)
Just love these happy faces ... and be prepared you may see more of them .. Hopefully it puts some sunshine in your Northern Hemisphere faces..
Thank you!
