Mellow Yellow Monday: Flowers With Big Heads

I love these flowers. They're just so huge and have such interesting centers.

This was a little centerpiece I made for my DIL. Yellow is one of her favorite colors.

I love a little drama in a centrepiece. Looks good in a square vase.

Aren't you a nice MIL. Very thoughtful of you.

Lovely centerpiece.

I also love sunflowers. The guy next door used to have them planted right next to our driveway. They got huge.

They're not there any more, the neighbors got divorced.

Sunflower season—
the ripening part of summer—
soon colors will fade…

This arrangement is so beautiful. If I were an artist, I would paint it!

A 10 biscuit rating (I'm in Biscuitville mode today)!

Lovely sunflowers in your DIL's center piece. Ya know what they say about 'great minds' ;--)

Glad you enjoyed MY sunflower mosaic at Small Reflections. I shared a couple of follow up 'sunflower photos' with a little visitor at Sacred Ruminations this morning ... just because ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

The best thing about a sunflower is that they last so long after being cut. DIL will receive so much pleasure from this.

Love the colors in your photo.
Too hot here and all the flowers,
except in the air conditioned shops, have wilted.

Angie said...
