Oh Joyce, I just giggled while visualizing your poochs' antics. We still have not gotten any rain, here in Derby. We did get the wind, I lost a bud off wretched mess and a bud off of maya and three Hibiscus buds and a branch and the w whole side of leaves off my just now Y'ing cross seedling I grew ot from a seed from phicks. I grew that same sunflower and I think it was called chianti? But, I also grew a chocolate something and maximiliion and mammoth and the good old Kansas sunflower. My tithonia is done, and I too watched the goldfinches and birds eat the seeds, so I bagged the tithonia seed heads and saved those. I cut off the giant seed heads of the big ones out back, laid them on the ledge out front, came home today and it looks like something had a tasty dinner while making a mess of it. Here is one of our sunflowers, it has the Moonvine Alba growing up it everywhere..
Linda, I grew my first prickly pear yellow from a pad someone sent me on Multiply, it is now three years old, it is getting really big, no blooms yet.
