Sentimental Sunflower
Some years back, while living in an apartment, I planted a small balcony garden. I grew herbs and a few vegetables and just for show, I grew a giant sunflower in a terracotta pot. It was awesome. Its face followed the sun all day and at night it slowly turned it’s head towards the light from the living room.
I saved some seeds from that sunflower and planted them this spring, some seven years after harvesting them, not knowing if they would sprout, after all this time. One did and stands proudly at over seven feet tall.
Sunflowers are magical and this one is extra so. My Dad was still alive back then and he stood on the balcony and admired the original plant. This Sunflower is a time capsule for me. I’m sentimental that way.
