New sunflowers in the garden

Seasonless Little Garden

Sunflowers originate from America where seasons are permanent feature governing how plants should behave year after year. Putrajaya where I live, is tropical therefore season is seamless, always a hot and wet summer throughout the year.  We just had a delightful season of  blooming  sunflowers in the garden. Now we are ready to see sunflowers making a comeback with seeds saved last season.

Another eight of them are placed close to the site where the old papaya once grew mighty high. The other three are placed on the vegetable bed replacing the place once filled by eggplants. This time round, it will be interesting to see how two plants fare within the constraint of a container. The light yellowish green is a familiar colour for sunflower leaves, and will soon be the focal point.
