Late Bloomer ~

Some of you know that I also do a wee bit of gardening. Not as much as I did before having kids, but just enough to keep some flowers and veggies nearby... Well, some of you also know my good friend, Jerry, who is (among other attributes) a great gardener. He gave me some sunflower starts in the beginning of the summer to plant in my yard.

Here is Jerry's sunflower a month ago....

Here are my sunflowers this morning....

Can you see them amongst the riot of herbs and Rhodie's? probably not, as they are mostly stems.... and then one just starting to show some color...next to the Cosmos... Jerry can't believe they aren't blooming yet....
perhaps they are growing slowly like the socks I am knitting?
