Mexican Sunflower Still Unfolding
I’ve been waiting a long time for the first bloom on this Mexican sunflower plant in my yard. I captured it just before it opened fully. At my home in Dunnellon, Florida.

Thank you Isa. I’m glad I caught it while it was not fully open—it’s kind of interesting that way.
