From seed to bloom

The Soul Window continues to unfold and, meanwhile, so did this. One of the sunflower seeds I had planted on the first of January 2007 opened fully today on the first of March. It seems to be a small variety, so they are only a few inches high. There are only three left out of many (due to the cat that sat on them and crushed them). The other two will bloom within the next few days. Their buds are full.
