What a serendipitous surprise! The front porch sunflower in particular is a gorgeous colour. You could save their seeds to plant next year......sure beats buying a packet.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I used black oil sunflower seeds in bird feeders one year and had the sunflowers growing all over my yard by fall, LOL. Some of the seeds were dropped by birds, but also, some of the bird droppings contain the seeds and they can spring up anywhere. So if you have had any seed eating birds hanging around your flower beds, that could be the explanation. Just sayin...
ReplyDeleteAnd I love sunflowers. I am in the process of moving and they definitely will be planted next year. Love how they are coming up in the pot!
ReplyDeleteYes, I get them too, presumably via birds. Nicer than seedless droppings!
ReplyDeletei LOVE sunflowers! There's a Buggy Barn sunflower pattern that's on my To Do list for summer, I'm running out of summer so it may be a fall project, but I'm doing it this year!
ReplyDeleteYour sunflowers are special for two reasons, they decided where to grow and picked your house, and they are a very pretty but unusually bright color. Wouldn't it be fun if you were able to harvest the seeds and send them to quilting friends all over the world and next year we would all have your pretty sunflowers growing in our yards??
What a fantastic surprise! Those are the best kind. When you plant them on purpose, they aren't as beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI bet a friendly neighborhood bird or squirrel did that just for you :)
