summer blossoms
My garden's first sunflower bloomed over the weekend, celebrating the hottest days of summer so far:
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye, or in this case sorghum. Rather than forming cobs on the side, the seeds will develop on the tassel, and hopefully provide food for wandering flocks of goldfinches:

Very nice!
