A place for gardening and plant pics

This is a beautiful Lemon Queen sunflower in my backyard. I've planted a whole row, but this one shot up and got an early start, the rest barely have their heads grown.

I'm growing these as part of The Great Sunflower Project, a citizen science effort to track pollinators in the United States. These were chosen for their wide appeal to pollinators, and true to form, there is always at least one sort of insect buddy visiting at any given moment!
