Nathan's Sunflower

We had Nathan's Playgroup over to house back in April and planted sunflower seeds in plastic cups. Nathan was so surprised (as was I) when the seed sprouted. Well, we nurtured it closely and eventually the little sunflower graduated from the plastic cup to a pot. It has since graduated from the pot to the ground and has sprouted it's first flower. We are so excited about it. I have to admit - I really did not imagine we would get this far from some seeds I helped a group 3 year olds throw into a plastic cups with some potting soil. Imagine that!

Meredith's sunflower blossomed too! She was so excited and proud of her flower. She just could not understand why it did not stay beautiful and eventually died. She said it was my fault because I did not water it enough. So...we had to do the "life and death" talk about flowers!

Thanks Janell for giving them these flowers!
