I made all my daughters confetti by drying red rose petals. I harvested the flowers (from friends and neighbours) I laid the petals on porous paper until they dried, I then wrapped the petals into natural paper cones tied with ribbon (matching her 5 bridesmaids) and stood them in a basket, the guests really loved them. Good luck 🌹🥀 I love your idea to use the little flowers 🌸

Yes, amazing design by and amazing designer, the great I AM ( self existing one). I don't meant to chime in to make you feel ganged up on, picked on, or anything negative ! I just respectfully urge you/everyone to check into it ! Solid scientific research, even that done by honest scientists who were not at the time believers and some who still aren't yet, actually back up what the Bible says. And we see in the Bible that God created space, time and matter. Then, everything else, and all creatures and plants to "reproduce after their kind" . Many scientific discoveries were made because the researcher believed the Bible, such as the man who discovered/mapped the oceanic currents, after reading a reference to them in the Bible. At the very least, it's a super famous, long lasting, best selling book and the scientific stuff is definitely worth checking into, is fun and super interesting, so I hope everybody goes over to ICR.org to check out the content there and subscribe to their free magazine. Plenty of technical stuff but most of it is available in articles written for the layman.

When I was a child, I remember how sore my hands got when removing the seeds from the giant sunflower heads. My parents always raised some fun things like popcorn, oodles of flowers, and giant sunflowers in the garden, along with all kinds of regular veggies. This year I grew 3 different varieties of sunflowers (all had short stocks), the kind you use for cut flowers. Squirrels have been chewing off the whole heads, I presumed they are eating them until I found one head half planted in a flowerpot, crazy little critters! ~Margie

@Edu_Kate 3 жыл бұрын

I set aside coneflower seed heads in a flowerpot to plant them in my backyard later. Probably 8 of them. The next day, I didn't think anything of the tipped over pot because we've had a lot of wind. Dang if those critters (squirrels) didn't run off with the coneflowers... all but one I found discarded like Cinderella's glass slipper among my bagged leaves. We'll see if the seeds take next season.

I had no idea what beauty there is in them. I would never have thought of feeding the wildlife, gathering seeds, or using for cut flowers. I could write a short novel on how you have opened my eyes and how thankful i am. Typing that last sentence has my eyes full of tears. Thank you .

You can roast them, and eat.

Wow! That was amazing! My husband and I planted sunflowers for the first time ever, at the end of April of this year. We surprised a lot of people (ourselves included), at how tall our Mammoth sunflowers grew….in 3ft by 12in pots…a couple of them grew to 8ft tall, This has been one of the top 5 best experiences of my life.

When you mentioned in your tour yesterday that you were going to just leave the seeds for the birds, I was surprised that no one in your family wanted them. I am glad to see that you guys are enjoying your harvest too! Boy those sunflowers are impressive!

And now all of Laura’s neighbors will have volunteer sunflowers from the birds taking the seeds to eat elsewhere. 😂

This was very interesting! You are such a wealth of knowledge, Laura! Question: Do you individually shell each seed when you use them for salads? It seems very labor-intensive. Benjamin is such a cutie.

"Hey, I grew that. You should enjoy it." 🤣 So surprised at the inside of the head. It looked foamy. I've never seen that before so that was a real treat. I bought some seeds last year to plant out this year and never did. But this looks so fun, I'm going to start planning where to place them. Any tips? Are all sunflowers harvestable do you know? Or are some ornamental (thinking about your Suncredibles).

So cool that you take the time to share an incredible amount of gardening information! It just so happens my feathered friends have “volunteered” several sunflower seeds throughout my potted plants. I didn’t have the heart to remove them, and boy am I glad!!! There are a couple of heads ready to correctly harvest. Thank you for keeping us educated and savvy.
