Now disheveled by goldfinch forays, these sunflowers were perfect about three weeks ago. I thought I had planted Tarahumara from Seeds of Change in New Mexico. These look like Russian mammoth, though. Hmmm. I leave a few plants in the ground all winter. They give the juncos and tree sparrows an extra place to perch and add a little variety to the winter scene.

'Still have hummingbirds here, too. Also Monarch butterflies.
I know the finches love thistle seed and prefer their own special feeder. I always think I'm going to be able to save a few sunflower heads for winter, but everybody gets them while they're fresh - kinda like warm Krispy Kreme.
