Sunflower

When you think "sunflower", this is not necessarily the image that pops up in your mind, but it's the best I can do. This one grows almost directly underneath one of my bird feeders, so we know its origin. And, you know the story of the horse and the gift, right?

This plant has four more buds on it, so it is likely that it will adorn my garden for several more weeks. Thanks to the birds!
