This is my driveway. We planted them around the light post and at a rock at the end of the driveway. I’ll get you a closer look in a second. The one thing that we are going to do next year is start them inside. Squirrels ate about 90% of our seeds this year so we only have a few of them.
You may notice that the color is a bit different on these flowers. These are the sunflowers around the mailbox. They are evening sun sunflowers and they come in varying shades of yellows and reds. They are incredibly pretty. Right now all three blooms are similar but last week I had one that was red.
You probably noticed that the title of the article is the Mammoth Sunflower. Ready? We have been so excited about this flower.
There it is! It’s the flower that I used at the top. Earl even agreed to get in the picture to give you a sense of scale. He is 6’4. It’s a huge flower! We were excited to plant these this year and he planted around 20 around the rock, this one survived. It’s been open for about 2 weeks now.
A few years ago I wrote an article about the Magick of Sunflowers and in it I mentioned that they can get up to 12 feet but that I couldn’t imagine them getting that tall. This one isn’t 12 feet but it’s huge! If your’e interested in the energy that they bring us you want to check out this article: The Magick of Sunflowers.
This is a closeup of the smaller one next to the rock.
If you want to try to grow some sunflowers like we are working with next year, these are the seed packets that we used. The evening sun ones are really really beautiful and the Mammoth ones are just fun. Hopefully next year I’ll be writing to you with a yard full of them to show you.
Have a magickal day!
Much Love and ManyBlessings,
