Sunflowers




Helianthus Annuus or the common Sunflower
Origin: Western United States.









I have always love the sunflowers, but it's not quiet commonly grown here in sunny Singapore, they usually dies after they show off their beautiful blooms. These were caught in the HortPark Garden recently.

Wow, these are nice shots. I've never seen sunflowers like these, they are so "fuzzy."

Beautiful!. I love that 3rd picture - the flower bud.

There are so many beautiful sunflowers at Fraser's Hill. I just shot a few frames as I walked past the garden.
