“As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own sake, and for the sake of old-fashioned folks, who used to love them.” Henry Ward Beecher, 1874

C. S. Lewis on Do Gooder Tyranny
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be
satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
we usually plant two or three clumps of sunflowers for the autumn influx of goldfinches
this year squirrels ate the heads as though they were apples
really…gnawed the head from the stem and munched away
that has never happened here before
Oh I don’t think I have ever seen that before! Pesky little guys!
Great quote…beautiful flower. I was able to grow some sunflowers this year and took great delight in them. One giant grew beside our kitchen window and we enjoyed watching the colorful finches feast on the seeds.
They do make me smile. I have come to enjoy the smaller heads because they usually can stay upright a little better toward the sun but they are all nice.
i love marigolds. because for me they are like the reflection of sun which is more beautified by our nature..
A nice way to look at it for sure🙂
thank you.
