A few years ago, my friend Pam Johnson gave me some seeds from her False Sunflowers and to my delight, I got them to sprout. Taking pictures of these gorgeous flowers was such fun, and I hope some day to grow more!

There's nothing like a False Sunflower to bring good cheer to a spring day. They are easy to grow and flower profusely! I would love to have these in the next garden I grow. Thanks to Pam for the seeds! :)

I was tickled to find False Sunflowers growing in one of the gardens that Steve and I visited during the garden tour a few years ago in Ashland. These flowers are so bright and cheery, and this one also happened to have a very cool wasp crawling around on it!

A few years ago, one of my good friends here on ipernity, Pam Johnson , sent me lots of different flower seeds to try out in my upcoming raised bed garden. One kind of seed turned into masses of these gorgeous flowers called False Sunflowers! I hoped they would come back on their own, but this is the only year they grew. Still, I have lots of pictures and very fond memories too! Thank you Pam! :D

My latest article is finished, "Ant Invasions!" If you've ever battled with ants, you will know how we felt! You can read it here: Ant Invasions! I would like to present the FIRST FLOWERS of my RAISED BED GARDEN!!! These flowers are very special to me, because I raised them from seeds that were sent to me by my friend Pam J after I told her how much I loved them. We ended up trading several types of seeds, and though I didn't have luck with some of them, these sprouted and so did bunches of Maximillian Sunflowers, which are currently growing larger every day. These flowers are called "False Sunflowers", and grow wild in the Midwest. I love them so much, thank you Pam! Explored on July 14, 2014. Highest placement, #3...
