Helianthus annus is the Latin name for the most common sunflower grown for its edible oil and meat. This species of sunflower is used a bird food, livestock forage, and in some industrial applications. Helios was the Greek god of the sun and anthos means flower. So there we have it. Sunflowers.

Ten days later, we added a low fence to keep the kids out of the bed.
Another week and Boy, Howdy, are things looking bright !~!

| Growing bigger every day. |
