The photo is so amazing and beautiful! Your title had the Carly Simon song from 1971 in my mind right away. Yeah, that’s my age group. 😬👍🏻❤️
Thanks, John. Yeah, me, too. 😉 Remember they also used it in the ketchup commercial?
Yes, I remember that! ❤️
Great to capture this! It tells ua what is going to become next.
Thank you!
I am always amazed by this sunflower!
They really are something to behold!
Watching buds is sometimes the best part! But sunflowers are spectacular, so it’s worth waiting for them to unfold.
Thank you, Audrey. They really are an event in the garden!
Beautifully captured, Eliza!
Thank you, Anne!

Perfect! Very beautiful Eliza!
Thank you, Maria! ❤
That caption is epic!!! Great shot
🙂 Thanks, Dawn!
Wonderful photo and perfect caption!
Thank you, Judy!
Lovely shot Eliza
Thank you, Sheree!
😎
That will be a beauty of unfolding sunshine and bee paradise.
Yes! and then on to seeds for the birds. 🙂
The utmost complete cycling!
I love how you can get a sneak peak into the flower before it blooms. Beautiful capture, Eliza. 🙂
Thank you, Robin!
So pretty and anticipation that is also fun. 😁
Thank you, Pepper!
It looks so prickly here – enough to rival a thistle! I love all those jagged lines.
Thank you, Susan. Reminiscent of Little Shop of Horrors. 😉
Wonderful! Sunflowers are beautiful in all their states 🙂
And they grow in so many of our states.
Even in my cold climate, a few will reliably sprout from seeds the birds missed over winter.
Agreed! Thanks, Dale. 🙂
🙂
Beautifully shot! This sunflower will be outstanding when fully opened.
Thank you, Hien. Sunflowers are beautiful through their entire cycle from bud to seed head. 🙂
Did Carly Simon’s song play in your head when you chose this post’s title?
Actually, it didn’t! I just thought of my eager waiting for the flower to emerge.
A beautiful picture to also symbolize our individual unfolding…with anticipation and curiosity. 💜
Yes! Thanks, Carrie. x
Since our rains have begun, the sunflowers also are reblooming, and they’re quite a sight. I suspect most are the common sunflower, but they’re certainly not common in their appearance.
They are iconic, for sure!
Almost ready to emerge!
Waiting on it! 🙂
I looks as if the sunflower is peeking out: “is it time for me yet?” . Great capture, Eliza!
Thank you, Tina. Any day now!
“Come out come out, you’re spied “ 😊
🙂 ❤
Looks downright scary, doesn’t it? 😀 … hello baby sunflower. 😀
Kinda spiky, in a Little Shop of Horrors way. 🙂
Hee, hee, hee … that was my thought too. 😀
Is this just now coming out?? I feel sure ours are already in full bloom!
I’ve had a couple bloom earlier… these ones coming now had a late start. 🙂 Works for me… I get to enjoy a longer bloom time.
YES!!
They are always pretty, closed, at the back, in front, upside down….ideal flower for photographing !
So true… thanks much! 🙂
I see that the ketchup aka catsup (what’s up with that?) commercial has already been discussed. 🙂
Sunflower season may signal summer’s end but it’s a beautiful ending. That looks like it’ll be a grand bloom.
A garden isn’t a garden without sunflowers! 🙂 Thanks, Steve.
Aren’t sunflowers beautiful even before they open? Mine are just flowering now, and bees are loving them
Beautiful at all stages, from bud to seed, whereupon the birds feast on them. What a gift this flower is!
Lovely!
Thank you, Jackie!
Lovely from start to finish 😊
Thank you, Belinda!
She seems quite shy, though I’m sure she will break out into a radiant smile. 🌞
Yes, indeed. Looking forward to it! 🙂
It looks like it’s going to be huge. The paltry few I had are mostly done alkready.
I prefer the shorter ones, but I have a few out there that must be 12′ tall… and that is in drought conditions without supplemental water. Hope we don’t get big winds!
A gorgeous photograph Eliza! 🌻
Thank you kindly, Xenia! ❤
stunning image Eliza!
Thank you, Sylvia!
Glad that your flower rota hasn’t yet finished for the summer!
Lucky for me, the annuals (esp. zinnias) will go until frost ends it all. If the weather stays warm like it has been, that could be 6 weeks more.
Gorgeous expectations! 🌻
Thank you, Barbara… I’m ready for it! 🙂
beautiful
Thank you!
So beautiful
Thank you, Chaymaa!
That’s a great title … looks like it might burst open any second! Very nice!
Thank you! They are starting to open fully now, full of bees and the goldfinches keep checking on the progress of the seeds!
So well observed and the photo really does capture that sense of anticipation.
🙂 Thank you!
Love this image and sunflowers at all stages. 🌻
Thanks much! Sunflowers are a marvel of nature and very photogenic. 🙂
When this bud is opening, it is like showing the beauty hidden.
Yes! Thanks. 🙂
What a great photo!
Thank you, Vinny!
