Sunflower time #3

I had to 'slightly trespass' on the sunflower field to get this close up :) Most of the blooms were taller than me and there were a lot of bees buzzing about. This busy bee gives an idea of how large the flowers are.
Easy to see why they are called SUNflowers (botanical name is Helianthus annuus)
Each flower is actually a 'flowerhead' and the centre brown part is a cluster of individual florets formed in a spiral pattern, which eventually produces the seeds.

Now this is Sunflower Power, Lyn. A beautiful close-up. Glad you weren't arrested for trespassing or stung by a bee. Photographers are allowed to break some rules..right? Bravo.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Seeing that big sunflower head staring at me reminds me of the 1962 film "The Day of the Triffids" you really are bringing out my imagination today Lyn. (o:
