Noah's
sunflower
head –
in
its
final
stages.
Nearly seven months have past since Noah sprouted a sunflower seed in his kindergarten class. At August's end, the plant reached 10 feet 1-1/2 inches and gained a blooming composite head.
In spite of drought, damaging hail, deer grazing on its lower leaves and two bouts of frost, this plant cycled successfully.
Today its head hangs low. Just the center seeds remain.
Those in the outer rim have dropped out leaving behind the empty husks in a picturesque pattern.
