flowers!

I keep on meaning to do a real post but work keeps keeping me down. But only four more weeks now, yay!

Anyway, you'll be happy to know that today the cinderblock from last post had two beautiful flower bouquets, sitting on top of it. The rainbow-colored umbrella had blown into the road, so I stopped my car and retrieved it, and doing so, realized I couldn't see any way to pay for the bouquets. There probably is one? I didn't look hard. Or maybe the flowers are being offered for free. (But probably not ... that's the sort of assumption I make that is usually *wrong*).

The following photos are unrelated to the cinderblock, the bouquets, and the umbrella. The first is sunflowers; the second is the dappled path between the sunflowers.

They're not much grown as a crop plant here- it's a little too cool most of the time, although you see fields and fields of them all over southern Europe.

Lot's of folks here grow them for pleasure though including our neighbours.

They're one of those wonderful plants that are both a crop and a pretty ornamental!
