The sunflowers are blooming, and as a result, today's Sunday Garden Stroll is dedicated to Girasole. My sunflower patch is filled with a variety of sunflowers, though certain quirky ones never popped up. There are a few Stella Golds, Jokers (the ones with stripes on the leaves), Moonshadows (lemon-yellow) and so far, only one Chocolate Cherry bloom. Here is my daughter, standing among the leeks

Here is a link to some photos I took for the Sunday Garden Stroll: Borage, nasturtium, and plenty more Lucia has started eating more fresh green leaves and herbs as a result of our gardening efforts. She is a particular fan of borage flowers and nasturtium leaves, but will also gladly eat lettuce, mint and lemon balm. You may see the roundup at A Wrung Sponge.

When a spell goes horribly wrong, Jade Delarue tries everything in her power to fix it. All she was trying to do was help a man who was jilted and open up her own heart to love. But soon Mason Kincaid is staying at her B&B and doesn’t seem to ever want to leave. What can she do to fix it? Or maybe it doesn’t need to be fixed and it is Jade’s eyes that needs to be opened up. But first secrets must be revealed and the past will rise up to throw dirt in Jade’s face. Can she face her heart and her past so she can move to her future?
You have sunflowers and marigolds in your garden!
My favorite of your stories are the ones about your life, and your garden stories count(:
LSM: Yes! Thank you. By the way, I had no idea that there were so many different kinds of marigolds, too. I like the ones with striped leaves in particular.
These are wondrous fine photos, and I am very grateful to see them! I will no doubt add a few to my screensaver.

And the big red chocolate one, I made that my wallpaper. Sending hugs via the internet sunflower fairies ...

Lucia's hair is short! Very cute on her!
I love your sunflowers. The colors are beautiful.
I like those marigolds, too.
I love your garden posts - they are story and song and beauty. You have fabulous sunflowers here and a darling daughter showing them off.
I love your photos here, especially the one with your daughter, and the close-up of the chocolate-cherry sunflower. I know what you mean about Cloudscome's photos, too!
I second what Lone Star Ma said.
Beautiful photos.
Beautiful sunflowers!
I have a sunflower garden outside the library. Every spring I do a garden themed program and have all the kids plant sunflowers in paper cups. Later I bring the transplants outside and (most years) label them with the kids names.
I got them started late this year, so right now the plants are only a foot or two tall. But with our hot Virginia weather, by the end of the month I expect to have lots of beautiful flowers!
Thanks for all these great responses. Way to make a lowly storyteller feel pretty special.:) And Library Lady, I'm so glad you have a sunflower garden outside your library.
Lovely!
