Monet’s Pallete
Not too long ago I wrote about my sunflower ‘privacy fence’, and how I was somewhat disappointed with the end result.
Well, I guess I wrote too soon – the best was still to come! As mentioned, the seed mix I used for the garden is called ‘Monet’s Pallete’ since it contains a nice selection of different varieties (and colors). While some nice flowers had emerged by the time I wrote the blog post, during the past week the sunflower patch really seems to have come to life! The plants themselves have continued to grow as well, so apart from the great aesthetic appeal, they are even becoming more of a fence than expected.

Anyway, here are some photos of the various flowers that have been emerging. My favorite variety has to be the second one down. I took that shot just before the sun went down, so the flower almost seems to be glowing – pretty wild!

Hi Bentley, once again your photography is exceptional. It is really neat that you share this with the rest of the world. I have followed another site in PA that does interesting photo work that you may enjoy. All of his photos are cataloged for use and some I guess for sale. He grows from seeds and sells and trades the seeds. If you have any interest check him out at robsplants.com. The compost guy is as interesting redworming composting, but judging from the quantity of comments, not many people agree with me.
