Summertime in Texas

Most of the petals on this Sunflower have dried up due to the heat, just a few blooms remain. This plant was at least 10 feet tall, I liked the way it looked against the cloudless sky!

I find sunflowers beautiful at each stage of their life. This is a very summery photo Lou Ann.

Perfect summer picture.

Same thing happened to my sunflowers last year too. 42 degrees C was just too much for them.

[Diana]

There is only so much even a sunflower can take! Lovely shot.

[Henri Russell]

Nice capture. You know it's hot when they sunflowers can't survive.

[Joan Robillard]

Oh dear

What a shame, they do look a sorry yet colourful sight

I do like your POV and the colors! I guess the Texas heat finally took its toll. I don't blame them for wilting in the heat! It is suppose to be a really hot summer too! :(

It does look great against the blue sky. They look so tall:)
