More and more of the sunflowers are opening up, and today I spotted one that’s different.

Most look like this.

Bright, sunny, mostly yellow with light oranges and greens around the developing seeds.

Then there was this one.

The camera actually lightened it up a bit. Compared to the others, this one looks almost black in the middle! Very dramatic.

This may be the first of the slightly shorter variety of giant sunflowers we first planted, so start opening its seed head. If so, I expect to see more. :-)
