A Sunflower Against a Summer Blue Sky
Sunflower skies. I caught this big sunflower from below, its golden petals reaching up into a bright blue sky streaked with wispy clouds.
The low angle makes it feel larger than life. One of my favorite summer flowers.
? When can you plant where you live?
I built a free little tool for exactly this question — The Garden Almanac. Type in your ZIP code and it gives you your USDA hardiness zone, your average last and first frost dates, and a planting calendar tuned to your spot — when to start seeds, set out transplants, and sow. It runs right in your browser, no account needed. Find your frost dates & planting calendar →
