I was just informed the farmer adjacent to my bee yard planted 10 acres of sunflowers a week ago. A major plus for the HarpHives Apiary! Sunflowers bloom late in the summer and it's pollen is a natural medicine to bees that can treat gut issues. Apparently the honey is tasty too but that's about third or fourth on my list of pros, the overwintering aspects is what I care most about. Sunflowers will provided great nourishment for the bees.

Sunflowers

Sunflowers can actually have anywhere from 34 to 89 petals, depending on the size and variety. Another fun fact: many sunflowers track the sun across the sky, a behavior called heliotropism.

If you love flowers—or just enjoy discovering their beauty and names like I do—come explore my gallery of blooms captured in moments of wonder and curiosity.

Yesterday's hailstorm left its mark on my sunflower seedlings (Helianthus annuus). The young leaves were punctured straight through by the impact — a reminder of how vulnerable seedlings can be to sudden, severe weather. 🌱

Despite the damage, the plants themselves are still healthy and growing. At this stage, sunflowers are quite resilient: as long as the growing tip is intact, they bounce back quickly. Nature doesn't always play nice, but it does keep things interesting.

De hagelbui van gisteren heeft duidelijk sporen nagelaten op mijn zonnebloem zaailingen (Helianthus annuus). De jonge blaadjes werden letterlijk doorboord door de hagelstenen — een herinnering aan hoe kwetsbaar zaailingen kunnen zijn bij plotse, hevige weersomstandigheden. 🌱

Gelukkig zijn de plantjes zelf nog gezond en groeien ze gewoon door. Zonnebloemen zijn in dit stadium behoorlijk veerkrachtig: zolang het groeipunt intact is, herstellen ze snel. De natuur speelt niet altijd mee, maar ze houdt het wel boeiend.

Chaos gardening: birdseed sunflowers are easy to grow and cheap fun! Birds eat some and that’s ok!

If you're in PNW & love sunflowers but have limited gardening space - I would recommend the native perennial #WoolySunflower aka #OregonSunshine. It's a miniature native sunflower - very easy to grow from seeds. They do well in pots or in the ground. Pollinators love their bright, cheery flowers 💛🐝💛🌼
