FOTD, July 16, A Redo

Flowers, God's color, Kindness, Sunflowers 1 Minute

A few days ago I posted a flower that was upended before opening by a storm. I was hoping it would bloom inside. So today I thought I would show you the bloom as it did finally fully open. I give you a burnt red-orange sunflower…never seen this color before.

I tried several angles to show off the color but this seemed to be the best shot. The petals almost look brown but looking close you can see the orange. And the pollen is bright yellow and long. You can see in the closeup below how long the pollen stems are plus it gives you a closeup of the petal color.

Flowers can be an amazing journey as you visit gardens or try “mystery” seed packets like what this one came from. The bloom size is not huge but its effect is.

Have a beautiful quiet Sunday and remember to be kind.

  3. Wow – I’ve never seen burnt red-orange sunflowers before. Stunning! I’m glad one of them survived in your garden. Even the sunflower seeds that have been transplanted by the gophers haven’t survived in my yard this year. I know how much you love your flowers. This year has been a tough one. May this beauty bring you much joy!
