We saw these Sunday while we were golfing. It is hard to judge the size by the picture, but they are almost as tall as I am. They sound like space aliens when they squawk. We were all scared the first time we heard them, SS said they sound like pterodactyls. lol
The sunflowers are all courtesy of the birds. I didn't have to plant any seeds this year! But I did anyway. Since these are blooming so early, I wanted to make sure they'd grow well into the fall.
They take up so much room in my garden, and are so tall, well, I've been neglecting my kitchen garden, afraid of the creepy crawlies that might be back there. The front of it looks good though.
It obviously isn't the best time of day to take pictures out front. lol
Here is the bee balm plant I bought and planted Saturday, it seems to be quite happy!
They love the thistle pouch. Or is it niger. I don't remember.
Here is a shot of my front garden. There isn't much room to walk around, I overplanted. LOL!!!
