They are so amazing.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-52429446465109652792008-09-18T09:31:00.000-04:002008-09-18T09:31:00.000-04:00Hi Sherry,Thanks for stopping by.

Next year if I grow sunflowers again I'll make sure they're better protected when they begin to grow top heavy with seed.<BR/><BR/>They were such a wonder - so tall! I'm glad I still have a few left.<BR/><BR/>ICQBICQBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634452093934367498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-59381953054581757722008-09-18T08:03:00.000-04:002008-09-18T08:03:00.000-04:00Dear Icqb, I think the Hornet's nest is incredible...Dear Icqb,<BR/> I think the Hornet's nest is incredible. Wow!<BR/> So sorry about the wind snapping the sunflowers. I do understand since it has happpened in my gardens before. I now grow my sun flowers in a proteced enclousure. The deer stay away too. <BR/>Lovely Calendulas. <BR/>Thank you for sharing your blooms.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-90480926302825887852008-09-16T17:33:00.000-04:002008-09-16T17:33:00.000-04:00Hi Mr. mcgregor's daughter,I don't think the first...Hi Mr. mcgregor's daughter,<BR/><BR/>I don't think the first flower is allium because it has a spikey stem. I think you may be right on the second one, I think it may be some type of Helianthus. The only other thing I can find that it looks like is some type of Bidens.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by and helping me track down flower IDs!<BR/>ICQBICQBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634452093934367498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-89428986816861931722008-09-16T16:14:00.000-04:002008-09-16T16:14:00.000-04:00Aagh!

The Calendulas are so cheery & the appears to have weathered the wind well. (This sentence brought to you by the letter "W.") Here' a stab at a plant ID for the 1st one - could that be an Allium? Crush a stem, if it smells like onions, it is. The second plant might be a Helianthus or Heliopsis. Marsh Marigolds bloom early in spring & are very short.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-46058034523723775142008-09-15T15:50:00.000-04:002008-09-15T15:50:00.000-04:00Hi Carol, Yes, it is a hornet's nest.

My hubby and I were talking about it and the last thing that was said was something about wasps, so of course that's what I typed in my blog ;-)<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for hosting Bloom Day, and for stopping by!<BR/><BR/>ICQBICQBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634452093934367498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-76239312767190460362008-09-15T15:24:00.000-04:002008-09-15T15:24:00.000-04:00Are you sure that's a wasp's nest?

My sunflowers look a bit beat up, but I don't think any snapped off.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for joining in for bloom day.<BR/><BR/>Carol, May Dreams GardensCarol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.com
