Who doesn't love sunflowers? Last year, we went on an unsuccessful search for fields of sunflowers. This year, I found them only 3 miles from home. The horticulture students at WVU plant sunflowers on the perimeters of their experimental plots. On the Morgantown "mileground" at WVU Farms are several plots within the field that have a row of sunflowers surrounding other vegetable plants. I spotted the gorgeous flowers out of the corner of my eye while driving. Bob and I ventured there on the weekend. His pictures were stunning. The picture of the hummingbird moth zooming in on the seeds is a perfect "taste of summer".
The poem by William Blake is typed on the graphic 45 paper:
"Ah! sunflower, weary of time
Who countest the steps of the sun
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done.
Where the youth pined away with desire
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow
Arise from the graves and aspire
Where my sunflower wishes go."
Thanks for spreading positivity!
