Just beautiful flowers! I am not much of a green thumb when it comes to flowers, other than my lilac bush which I absolutely love. Thanks for sharing at the Discover & Explore linky this past week.

They didn’t appreciate the activity much, but that changed after weeks when they finally saw the results. They felt really cheerful seeing those plants slowly growing. You know how these small things can make children happy. 🙂

I think it's how nature designed them. When I learned that the sunflower isn't exactly what it seems, I became a fan! Those little beads at the center are actually the real flowers called "florets." Those florets are too small to be seen, so nature devised a way to make them more attractive to insects. The outer florets each produce a vibrant petal which resembles our depiction of the individual rays of the sun, hence the name. Amazing, isn't it? And the daisies that your children love actually belong to the same family of the sunflower.

They are definitely my kiddos favorite!
