Sunflowers

The subject of today's photo-blog is Sunflowers.
'tis the season when all over the Northern Hemisphere every morning these beautiful flowers are facing and then following the Summer Sun.

Helianthus annuus, the common sunflower, is a large annual forb of the genus Helianthus grown as a crop for its edible oil and edible fruits. This sunflower species is also used as bird food, as livestock forage, and in some industrial applications.
I hope that you like them as much as I do. In your comments, I would like to see some of your photos on this subject. Michael
