This is Philomena's first flower she ever planted. It is a sunflower! A little baby sunflower right now but this thing is bound for greatness! It has already survived wind and drought (yes, I forgot to water it sometimes and it has fallen off my porch railing when it was just a seedling!) Let's just say this plant is a trooper. Mena has so much fun watering it with her spray bottle now that it is in a big pot and she looks at it all day out the door. What a great way to teach her about plant life cycles. This may be the beginning of a great garden someday, for now, we are happy with the sunflower!
