    Super image, Woo. How have you managed to provide it with a white background? It really makes it stand out.

    Woo, it's odd but I should have thought about it being sky, I didn't. The end result is an image with punch.

    New plant for me Mexican Sunflower. I just placed the seeds directly in the ground beginning of May.
    And that was it. The plants now are about shoulder high, and see first bloom. Supposedly humming birds like it.
