Tickseed Sunflower



These are my favorite wild sunflowers.  They grow profusely in Parma, so a few years ago, I gathered up some seeds and spread them around my yard.  Would you believe--the deer leave them alone everywhere but in my yard!  Enough of them survived that I have a few in my garden.  One year, I put them in containers on my patio, and that is what is pictured.  They do great in the pots.

The only problem with the is the tickseeds.  The seeds have little antennas that stick to your clothing.  It is a small price to pay for such lovely flowers.
