Flower Photo: Unopened Sunflower

Unopened Sunflower Photo By Aquariann

I was tempted to sneak into strangers' yards to photograph their sunflowers, but the ones in the garden at work are blooming just in time! I didn't realize how awesome the flowers looked before they even opened. If you like this shot, you'll coo over the baby blossom I posted on Instagram.

How To Plant Your Own Post for Flower Friday:
The only rule to play is that you can only add one link per week! The post doesn't even have to mention flowers, but only ones that do will be eligible for being picked as a feature next week. I will be sharing my flower image on other blog hops, namely Wordless Wednesday, and welcome all family-friendly links from fellow bloggers. Crafters can even link up an Etsy listing or other shop product! But if you want to promote a prize, I suggest adding it to my Giveaway Chest Linky instead to entice more treasure hunters.

Please follow my blog through any of the social media icons in the upper right sidebar to receive a reminder to return next week. Adding my button or a text link to your own blog and sharing to your followers is also a fairy appreciated way to help my hop grow.

  2. It's a lovely photo Kristin. I like the way you've composed the picture, very artistic and it holds a bit of mystery as one awaits the opening of this shy, timid sunflower .

  12. Hi Y'all!

    We used to raise a patch of giant sunflowers, but I never realized how beautiful they are as they open because they towered over my head.

    Y'all come on by,
