The Survivors of the Flower Bed

This week, I've made many more observations than I did last week. I've noticed many things in the past week, but I wanted to focus on one. While it seems everything is beginning to get a brown tinge and leaves begin to fall, I found one source of life that pursued, and it seemed to come up within this last week. Sunflowers. Four to be exact. A close knit group of survivors. Color in the brown around it. She pointed them out to me. I guess maybe I'm not as observant as I once thought. As soon as she pointed them out I immediately took out my phone and snapped a picture.


They were beautiful. They reminded me of my mom. We used to have the big sunflowers in our backyard, but we don't have them anymore. These were a blast from the past and reminded me of our accents of sunflowers all around our house. The next were some purple ones that I saw before her and I realized they were just weeds. 


They bloomed in a wonderful way, though. Like a flower my mom used to plant in our front yard planters. Anyway, the second week of observations turned out great. I'm going to keep a close watch of my sunflowers and hope they don't succumb to fall as the rest of the plants have.

  1. I think the pinkish plants are sweet peas.

  2. This was a nice post; really sweet. I am so amazed that four amazing flowers bloomed at the same time. I wish I could have those kinds of flowers in my backyard. You were able to say so much with few words. Great job.

  3. In my backyard only one rose has survived and bloomed this fall. Its pretty rad that you have four beautiful sunflowers still alive. Your blog really flows. You should try to research why those sunflowers bloomed .

  4. Great post, Benjamin. I really enjoyed the way you compared the lovely flowers to your radiantly beautiful mother. I was really able to visualize the flowers, even without the picture. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing more of you and your mother.
