Sunflowers

We're growing sunflowers for a science project--measuring it's growth week-by-week. A nearby house had a circle of sunflowers in their flower spot in the front yard last year. It was so artistic and dramatic compared to all the tame and repeated flower beds in other yards. Of course, ours will look a bit like a farm rather than a city lot, but I think that's a bit of the flavor I crave--the wildness as well as the cottage garden.
