I'm really enjoying these 'Red Sun' sunflowers.

Welcome to Perennial Passion
About Me
- Diana LaMarre
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

I love that big happy sunflower photo. That's made my morning! :-)
ReplyDeleteYa gotta love sunflowers they are so cheery. I had several this summer that the birds planted for me, but I like yours much better.

I've been thinking about starting a blog I just don't know if I'm that dedicated:)
I just have the common yellow sunflower growing in my garden...the Red Sun type is absolutely breathtaking!! The Sedum is always a fun plant to have in the Fall:-) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this type of sunflower. It is a stunner!! Love the burnt orange, perfect autumn flower. TWT
ReplyDeletethat does it . . . i'm planting more sedum next year.
ReplyDeletethis looks awesome.
Wow! The autumn-colored sunflowers are so gorgeous. Yours is a real beauty. I didn't plant any sunflowers this year, but seeing yours makes me wish I did!
ReplyDeleteThe before and after sunflower pics are fantastic! I especially love the unopened bud. That really is a great color.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you love AJ. It's looking gorgeous!
Zoey, I looked at the planter pics up close and don't know the names of most of the plants. All foliage plants as far as I can tell. The only one I know is coleus. There's a grass too. I'd be very happy to send you the pics I took of the planters if you'd like to look closer.
I knew you'd love the orange dahlia and coleus together. It was a perfect combination. That was one of my favorites, even though I'm a pink girl :)
I bought some red sunflower seeds to try next spring. They sure look pretty! Hope some of them grow.
