Willowy Stems Of Sunshine...




Here is a picture showing just how tall one of my giants grew. Although her heavy head hangs low now, she did reach the guttering on the cottage at one point.

This morning I looked in dismay at her petals that have started to wilt and look rather droopy, sadly it is the inevitable that her beauty is fading and I will no longer be able to relish looking at her magnificent colours which stretched toward the sky.   

The good news though, is that although her beauty is fading, I will be able to capture all her seed and plant many a stem of sunshine...I do however, have to chop her top off.

Off with her head!
