INDIAN BLANKET Sunflower Variety

INDIAN BLANKET Sunflower Variety

September is SUNFLOWER Season here in God's Growing Garden.  I originally had four different varieties planned for this year but due to the critter attack that occurred, I will only be able to share three varieties (click HERE to view "Garden Destroying Critters" to see what happened).  In this second sunflower post of 2024 I feature the lone survivor of this variety.  Today I am featuring: INDIAN BLANKET Sunflower variety in the Sunflower Series of 2024.

I thought that this variety would be different than solid yellow so I researched the variety online.  While yellow is a possible color, this variety is actually a mixture of colors.  Therefore, I will have to do a "regrow" series next year to regrow these varieties that were almost annihilated by the critters.


Before showing the featured pictures, I wanted to remind you why sunflowers are my favorite flower.  Sunflowers always turn towards the sun - you can literally see them gently turning throughout the day to follow the sun.  To be very clear - I am NOT a "sun" worshiper.  However, I am a "Son" worshiper:  Jesus Christ The Son of God and I strive every day to grow and turn towards Him in every aspect of my life.
  
ENJOY the following pictures!

All photos were taken by me (Angie Ouellette-Tower) and the sunflowers were all grown in my garden.

This variety is even beautiful when a large bite was taken out (see next 3 pictures below).  I like to think of it as having a handicap - still thriving and beautiful even with a hardship.

The bees loved this variety (or should I say this one flower stalk).
