Sunflowers from my garden

Ever since I took the flower arranging class at Turner Farm, I have been motivated to cut and arrange the flowers from my own garden and bring into our home.  I love these sunflowers, and sought out this smaller version after growing the huge ones year after year that just droop heavily after blooming.  These give so much more options for enjoying them inside!

             This is one from the beginning of August - my Zinnias which I love - and was afraid to cut -

but learned that they will bloom better if I do cut them!
