Red and Pink Sunflowers in My Garden
I photographed my sunflowers which are the only plants thriving in the long hot Summer
which we have had on the Kapiti Coast. The soil is extremely dry and we are having
to use washing water to keep the garden alive.
The bees seem to love them, this pink one is just covered with a dusting of pollen
and you can see the bumble been busy collecting it.
I have also grown some dwarf varieties which are mixed colours - this
one is a lovely deep yellow with orange tinges.
They also attract the butterflies, we get mostly monarchs and sometimes a yellow
admiral.
