“If I were a flower… I would be a sunflower. To always follow the sun, turn my back to darkness, stand proud, tall and straight even with my head full of seeds.”— Pam Stewart

Sunflower in December
Humanity’s’ shame.
**************
I wrote a Haiku Japanese ancient poem to describe my shock when I saw a sunflower bloom in the garden this December. I planted the seed in May and they usually bloom in June here in Greece. I read that July was the hottest month on record for the planet resulting in the melting of the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice and many other calamities. Then October came and there was a heatwave in Europe, the temperatures almost reached 30 °C. The seed that failed to germinate in the spring got it’s second chance in the unusually warm fall season.
Very worrying indeed. 😦

Happy new month!
Καλό μήνα!
‘Today is the first of August. It is hot, steamy and wet. It is raining. I am tempted to write a poem. But I remember what it said on one rejection slip: ‘After a heavy rainfall, poems titled ‘Rain’ pour in from across the nation.’ Sylvia Plath

Beautiful sunflowers planted from seed in my garden. It’s best to grow them from seed than to buy them from a flower shop, as they will last longer in your garden.
Όμορφα ηλιοτρόπια φυτευμένα από σπόρους στον κήπο μου. Είναι καλύτερο να τα καλλιεργείτε από σπόρους από το να τα αγοράζετε από ανθοπωλείο, καθώς θα διαρκούν περισσότερο στον κήπο σας.
