I wish I had a digital camera! There is a sunflower in full bloom in the gutter hanging off the garage roof!
I saw it when I turned into the drive just now and had to laugh.

How did it get there? It is probably courtesy of one of the birds who fed at our feeders this past winter. We put out black oil sunflower seed. We also have sunflowers at the base of the feeders and by the porch, but that's normal - for us at least!

Isn't fun to find flowers where you least expect them? I have sundrops coming up in my roses & I know I didn't plant them there
but they look great -so the critters who did it must have known something about flowers

That's a really good attitude to have!

Our gutters are kinda like that too - though nothing as spectucular as a sunflower - alos, our house is covered in ivy, with all the greenery, it took me a while to realise there was a problem with the gutters!
