Meant to post this earlier, but was busy and couldn’t. And I forgot to schedule the post! Silly me.
I learned one thing this weekend. I did learn red flowers are in short supply during Memorial Day. I also learned sunflowers can be pink. Who knew?
All in all, it was a good weekend. Reasonable weather and flowers.
Pink sunflowers are stunning, by the way.
Pink Sunflower! Isn’t it gorgeous?

I think those pink flowers are Gerberas Sonia, not sun flowers, there are no pink sun flowers that I know of. http://www.arboretum.wsu.edu/garden_blog_files/gerbera_daisy_secret.html
Yes, there are pink sunflowers. 🙂 It’s a hybrid and they are lovely! There is also other color varieties: Coconut, Ms. Mars, Chianti, and Strawberry Blonde to name a few!
Well, you learn something new everyday! I’ve never seen one, but I shall certainly look out for them in the future ^_^
Yeah, they are something else! I still prefer the common, yellow variety. 🙂
Amazon has cherry rose sunflower: http://www.amazon.com/ASUN-CHERRY-SUNFLOWER~Seed-~~~Great-Cutting/dp/B00APW2IIA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1432590676&sr=8-2&keywords=pink+sunflower+seeds
This site says they are red, but they look pink-ish to me: http://www.territorialseed.com/product/Double_Dandy_Sunflower_Seed/sunflower_flower_seed
