One of the many things he grew was sunflowers. Every year, on the west side of our house, up comes a sunflower forest. 
This year we had a lot of rain in May and June and the sunflowers really loved it. We must have 200 plants. All of them volunteers.
The birds love our sunflowers. We see golden finches, wrens, sparrows, robins, doves, and about 20 quail each day.
Thank you Wayne for the sunflowers. It's been a wonderful gift.

What a sweet reason to have an abundance of Sunflowers! Lucky you!
That is so sweet. I love Sunflowers. One reason is because my dad loved to plant them. I still do and they are great.
So THAT's where you got your sunflowers! Lovely that they're volunteers!
Sunflowers are the main flower for my daughter's upcoming wedding. I love them too. And they are cheap!!!

I love the sunflower forest--I was driving by the other day and thought your yard looks so good with all the windowboxes and flowerbeds filled in--I should come take close-up pics of them to copy them, since I tend to somehow still misjudge how tall everything will be and me beds look a little lopsided. :)
Oh how lovely. I love sunflowers. That's what I like, landscaping that is allready there.

What a wonderful surprise bonus! Lucky you:>) There is something so happy about a big bunch of sunflowers!
Beautiful...Could be onions or wheat, like I get!
something funny...I noticed this huge row of the most gigantic sunflowers growing in the back yard...when I finally noticed my husband said "well you've been wanting a fence!"
somehow...he thought he was going to get away with a sunflower fence...not going to work with me!
Awww....that is so wonderful! You get little and big (sunflowers)reminders of your former neighbor! They're gorgeous and are there any other flowers that make people happy just to look them? I don't think so!
