My friend Luiz Santilli Jr. has started a Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. You can get in on the start. Sunday at 7GMT is the post time.
Today I would like to share not a wild flower but one that is cultivated. There is a field of Sunflowers right next to the farmers field of wheat. If you click on the photo you can see a scarecrow in the field to the right back.
Going in closer you can see the row upon row of full Sunflower heads.
The Sunflowers were quite beautiful in golden yellow.
This on had a worker on the edge getting some nectar and pollinating the plant.
I went in for a macro and the bee was really busy. This farmer will have a lot of seeds to sell.

These are beautiful photos. I love the macro shot of the bee! Just gorgeous.
Beautiful. Great shot :-)
I also posted yellow flowers and bees! nice shots.
Really quite nice. I have seen whole fields of sunflowers around here instead of corn and soybeans. I have mine posted on Canon Pixels.
The bee really illustrates the size of the flower. I liked the way you zoomed in!
I love sunflower fields. Thanks. Our farmers didn't plant any this year that I've seen. Pappy
Nice capture of these sunflowers.
Beautiful, beautiful. Sunflowers are the most gorgeous "feel good" flowers I know. They always make me smile. A field full of them? Wow.
Mine is up too.
I love that shot of them all, like obedient children, facing the sun. It looks like they are waiting for instruction.
And a macro shot of a bee on the macro flower! Beautiful too see all those yellow!
I haven't seen so many sunflowers! It's like a yellow carpet!
Beautiful sunflower field.
Nice yellow flower. It foods and decorates.
Hi, Fishing
Nice post, most had already commented on the last Flower's? Returned later to see the news. I thank you for sharing.
hugs, Denise
Beautiful sunflowers. They always make me smile!
This series of sunflowers is fascinating.
Sunflower ...
...Here consume its oil, despite Brazil being the largest producer of soybeans in the world. But sunflower is one of the best, for cooking.
But what matters ... The flowers are beautiful
love that sunflower garden, very beautiful...
Wow, these are really beautiful! I've heard that some people grow them to attract doves in dove hunting season.
Oh, how beautifully captured sunflowers, thanks!
Great, great photos! Love those sunflowers!
Beautiful ! Wonderful picture!
Oh these are just beautiful. I love these!
I LOVE sunflowers. These are wonderful shots. I truly believe you are so lucky to be close enough to see these things regularly! (OK, I'm lucky in a lot of ways, too, but I LOVE sunflowers.)
And I'm a volunteer art teacher at my daughter's school. The lower grades drew and painted scarecrows the last two weeks. I had to find scarecrows wherever I could, so I am tuned into them now. Thanks for pointing it out!
Oh, my! Such a feast for the eyes. Have a wonderful Monday!
I love sunflowers! Beautiful photos. That bee shot is pretty awesome.
Well done, Fishing Guy! This is a lovely series of sunflower photos.
All those yummy sunflower seeds I like to crunch on have to come from somewhere! :)
What a fun field of flowers to see. Puts a smile on my face!! have a great week Fishing guy!
I adore sunflowers! As I drove cross-country to move to Washington a few years ago (having since moved back to the East Coast), I saw fields upon fields of sunflowers. I couldn't get enough!!!
Blessings,

Nice how you get closer and closer to the flower. I went apple-picking today and saw some sunflowers. This post reminds me of our fun day.
sunflower field!!! beautiful!
My flower for today is posted here. Please take a look if you have time. Have a great week ahead!
Great shots!
Wonderful photographs, especially when enlarged. That must be the hardest working scarecrow around. All alone in that sea of sunflowers.
Oh Wow! What a field! Love that scarecrow and all the beautiful sunny sunflower heads. We buy bags and bags of sunflower seeds for the birds in winter. Nice photos!
My friend Fishing!
Marvelous flower!
Your flowers are always so beautiful!!

Whoa! I'm blinded by the beautiful yellow everywhere. Great post, Guy~

I love coming upon a field of sunflowers! Thanks for sharing this, FG!
Beautiful flowers. Hopefully the birds won't take too many of the seeds.
You gotta love sunflowers!!
Lovely, they are all pointed to the Sun, never noticed that.
Lindos os seus Girasois!
Amo estas flores parabens e muito obrigada por sua visita! abraço. Lizete
Very nice photographic zoom on sunflowers. Great views.
oh, oh and oh, now I am jealous ;-) I've never seen a whole field of sunflowers (and it's on my wishing list). Lucky you !
Sunflowers are so amazing. Great photos and I love the bee!
I haven't seen any sunflower fields 'round here. Just a single plant or two for decoration. That bee has it's work cut out, doesn't it?
You have put together a great post here... and the last shot is a stunner...
Tom :O)
These fields of sunflowers are amazing! Beautiful pictures!
Our farmers in Austria also grow sunflowers.
Beautiful sunflowers. It seems like almost every flower shot has some kind of insect on it, whether it's a bee, an ant or fly.

A whole fleid of sunflowers how wonderful!
