sunflower bud

I took this in the gardens at Standen on our anniversary day out and somehow have never got round to posting it although I like it. So here it is today before we go to Willliam Morris's Red House tomorrow en route to see the family in Suffolk, because I'll then have a whole new set of photos.

Graham, thanks - very kind - maybe that's why it's taken me so long to post this as I am guilty of lots of in-bloom shots!!
