She sings to me on morning sun and shines her smiling face at me. A child, through fields I used to run, swimming sweeping waves like the sea. Her eyes prismatic, a story of temper and patience bereft, of seeds that ripen and drop hoary, like friends of old who came then left.

Sunflower seeds - yum! Pepitos - yum! Anaya - hugs! Thanks for reading. We grew sunflowers in one of our gardens when I was growing up in West Texas. They were twice my height! LOL

Many thanks dear Vie. I had to think a long time for this contest about which flower is my favorite, and really I find some beauty or interesting fact about them all. Sunflowers one out for their thirst for the sun. :) Linda

The sunflower is the state flower of Kansas, and I love everything about it. This makes me wonder - have you ever been in a sunflower field?

Linda Alice Fowler

Yes, I have Caren. There are some beautiful sunflower fields/farms in Texas. And as a child I was fascinated because of their height compared to my small body. We had a small patch of them in one of our gardens as I was growing up and I loved watching them turn their heads! Linda
