If the night temperature doesn't get too low and the strong cold winds stay away for a few days more maybe it will bloom.
The bud on the largest plant was tight shut ...
... but at least a Ladybird was finding it a useful place to shelter.

Late Sunflowers
While I was topping up the bird feeders I had a close look at the Sunflower plants growing from seeds dropped by the birds. Most are tightly shut but one was beginning to show yellow petals.

It's warm enough here but the rain has been torrential. Strong wind forecast for later. Nice to see one plant doing something and a nice image of it.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Most days have had sunny intervals, They started to droop the one day we had heavy showers and a strong wind but have recovered. The one with petals has opened up a bit more today.
ReplyDeleteGosh, those are lovely photos, John. I hope that sunflower has time to bloom!
ReplyDeleteEllen: Thank you. If it makes it through tomorrow's wet and windy weather it could be open by the end of the week.
DeleteI still have a couple in flower!
ReplyDeleteSimon: You should have a good lot of seeds for the birds now.
DeleteBeautiful photos and fingers crossed it can flower :)
ReplyDeleteRR: Thank you. Still progressing.
