Many thanks to Cathy at Words and Herbs for hosting her annual Week of Flowers, a meme to showcase flowers we grew in our gardens. As we head into the last month of the year, it is good to reflect on all the blessings that came our way during 2023. Gardens and flowers were just some the many for me.
As today is our last day, I thought I’d share a sunny throwback to summer in a favorite vase of mine. Who doesn’t love sunflowers? 🌻 Did you know that sunflower pollen is known to suppress intestinal infections in bumblebees? 🐝 Read about it here. Make sure you add a packet of sunflowers to next year’s garden plan!
Open to all, click the link to join in sharing Cathy’s parade of flowers. From her post: “For the fourth year now I am inviting my blogging friends to join me in posting a photo of a flower or two from their 2023 gardens each day for a week. There are no rules, so just one photo (or two or three!) with or without text is fine, and if you leave a link in the comments of my daily post, others will be able to find you and share in the fun! And this year I will start on Friday December 1st, continuing through to Thursday December 7th.“
