Peach Passion Sunflower
The "peachy" color of this flower comes from the middle portion. The petals themselves are not peach, in fact they are lemon yellow in color.
I had a tough sunflower growing season this year. The problems first started with an early rabbit attack - when the seeds had just germinated and the plants just started to emerge from the ground the rabbits treated themselves to a delicate treat. I was able to save a few sunflower seedlings and put a fence around the surviving plants. Then, in late July and early August the leaves of my sunflower plants were devoured by Japanese beetles. I am thankful for the few that survived.
ENJOY the following pictures!
All photos were taken by me (Angie Ouellette-Tower) and the sunflowers were all grown in my garden.
