A Sunflower Thing!

sunflowers A Sunflower Thing!   Life in Brittany, FranceI have got to admit, I do have a thing about sunflowers.

The Girlie planted some when we lived in Josselin and they got transplanted when we moved to La Coudrais.

They seem to have taken the move very well!

They seem to be taking over!

Although the photos don’t really show it, the tallest are over 8ft tall!

Sunflowers

sunflowers Sunflowers   Life in Brittany, FranceI’ve only ever seen Sunflowers being grown commercially much farther south in France. I didn’t realise that they were also grown in Brittany.

This year, for the first time in the six years that I have been over here, I have seen Sunflowers being grown.

I like Sunflowers!

They seem to have a character unlike that of any other flower.

Perhaps it helps that they are a lot taller than almost every other flower!
