These have far been my favorite flower…forever and a day.

Their happy yellow faces in their youthful expressions scattered around everywhere, their lovely round white heads in their old age, waiting to be playful in in a gust of wind or a child’s tight grip and breath usually reserved for birthday candles. Their happy dance on the wind to hit the ground and start again.

Weeks ago, I ordered 10,000 seeds because I have had maybe 3-4 a month in summer months since living here…I want more.

Also, yesterday I picked some on the side of the road while I was waiting for a tow truck to come get my car.
