Humble beginnings. (This sunflower house is inspired by gardening author Sharon Lovejoy.)
Growing straight and true.
With stalks nice and tall now, Angelus slips in the doorway.
Welcome to my Sunflower House!
In one clean swoop, mother nature laughed last and blew our Sunflower House down with her tornado. I tried to fix it, but so many of the stalks are broke in half; it belongs to the insects, animals and birds now. It was nice while it lasted.
Oh, I had a sunflower house almost every summer when I was growing up! We also made bean tepees. (Make a tepee-shape with some tall sticks, plant climbing beans at the base and let them grow!) Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteOh! What a lovely idea! I will plant one this next spring. The greatest thing is when it is done...it recycles...AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteooh dear- Mother Nature is a bit testy at times, isn't she? I like the sunflower house, but Syndii's bean teepee sounds more sturdy
ReplyDeleteAwe, I was hoping I could have a turn in there.
ReplyDeleteMaybe next year.
What a wonderful idea. Too bad about the tornado.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for kids (and childlike adults!) I would love a sunflower house! So sad about the blow-down, but the birds will still appreciate the seeds!
ReplyDeleteI'm so doing this when we have a backyard!
ReplyDeleteOh my, how wonderful is that? I think we'll have to do one of these too! I know that the Peanut would adore it!
ReplyDeleteIt was truly beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic!!!! I want one!! I am going to plant one next year! I just love this!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea!!!..
ReplyDeleteI may have to do this in my yard next year! This would be perfect to do around my dog's dog house!
that is a really cool idea!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful! Once we also had sunflowers in our garden, I loved watching them:) How did You get the reddish one? We always had the yellow types.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and such an inspiring idea when I have a home of my own! You must live near me as we've been hammered by awful weather here in New York, tornadoes and all.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun. I might have to do this one day for the Wee One. ;) At least there's always next year. So relieved to hear that you and Angelus were left unharmed.
ReplyDeleteOh and I saw this on a blog. Thought you might be interested. http://pmblogparty.blogspot.com/

Such a lovely idea! Nature gives and takes. It's best to enjoy everything while it lasts, knowing it can be grown again next year :)
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed beautiful! I'm sorry the tornado blew them all down, but I'm glad you & your family are safe! ^-^
ReplyDeleteSo Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour son must have LOVED playing under it!
Kind of reminds me of the Circle of Life! It's created, it grows and flourishes, it experiences, it's lives and loves, then back it goes for another ride on the wheel!
That's why we should appreciate it while we have it! And it looks like he did!
Blessings to you and your family,
Michael

Slendid! From tiny seed~seeded rows came such an enchanting place for you and your Angelus to be! (Until Mother Nature decided to put her foot down, that is. Sometimes, she can be such a witch. lol!)
