First Bloom

I couldn’t help but take this photo this morning before leaving for work….my first bloom has totally opened up, glistening with drops of last nights rains.

Isn’t it beautiful?  Remember I said how much the plants have grown…..in order to take this photo, I had to stand on my tiptoes with my arms extended over my head hoping I had it centered.  I’m seriously going to need a ladder to get photos of some of the other ones when they bloom!!  🙂

Thanks to the Great Sunflower Project for the seeds so that I may grow these beauties….I will soon be bee watching in my yard.
