Grow it, they will come

Taken yesterday on a sunflower that grew from bird seed.

So pretty!

The deer eat every sunflower I have tried to grow, even the bird seed dropped ones.

Awww! We only see goldfinches during migration, and have been seeing less over the years. Spectacular color!

I can't grow Sunflowers, the birds start to eat the blooms even before they're fully open.
We have Goldfinch all year round here, they shed the yellow and look more olive green but they never leave. I love their soft chirping!
Thank you for posting this (and all the others) pic @RobAmy

Normally the deer eat ours too. This year no deer I guess. We have tons of sunflowers this year. They normally pop the buds right off.

I have a little one that has made our yard its home. It was a fawn that mom planted here while she roamed that fawn is now bigger with just some spots left, but it has decided this is the place to be.

We have around 10-15 that wander through all of the time. One bad winter, we were gone, our neighbor told us we had herds of 40 plus eating anything they could find.

Love the photo! Goldfinch is our state bird. They visit daily to the bird bathes and flitter from tree to tree.

It was memorable! Some still show the shape, not as dramatic!
