A Summer Wedding Bouquet with Sunflowers

​  Sunflowers are among the 'Top Ten' requested flowers by our wedding couples for this Summer.
So this week, I've been sorting out seeds ready for sowing. (Not yet - way too early!)⁠
  And there are so many gorgeous varieties available now. Looking beyond the cheerful yellow giants commonly seen by the bunch in supermarkets, there are pale creamy lemons, rich oranges, deep plummy reds, stripes, browns... how do I choose which to grow?⁠
  And best of all, many of these varieties produce multiple smaller flowers with slender stems. They might not win a 'tallest Sunflower competition' but are perfect as cut flowers. So much easier to arrange in a wedding bouquet or vase!⁠
  The Sunflowers here in Maria's Summer wedding bouquet were just the perfect size - rich, joyful colours & not too heavy to carry. ⁠
  Thank you Maria & Peter for allowing me to share your photo, & of course, to talented photographer Derek Dunlop Photography for capturing the moment. ⁠
