Red


This post is dedicated to Tamara.
The Sunflower in the picture was almost "weeded out" of the garden but Tamara stepped in and saved it. In the spring when the garden is new it is very important to keep up on the weeding. Weeds compete with the other plants for both water and sun. Along the garden fence was this little lonely sprout that most of us thought needed pulling. Tamara kept telling us it was no weed and we needed to spare it. Soon we discovered that it was a Sunflower and then to our amazement that it was a special red Sunflower. Definitely a surprise worth admiring. Thanks Tamara
