They looked like young blooms, as they didn't have the dark center that is usually seen on Sunflowers.
I love the glass jar they came in, and maybe I can use it again for Jess' shower.
People often asked us if we were twins back in the day.
(we were cracking up at the person taking the picture).

It was a nice surprise getting these flowers delivered at my door, and I will enjoy them for as long as they let me. : )

Sheri, what a lovely photo of you and your dear friend! And the sunflowers, wow! They are such a happy flower.. That was so thoughtful of her.
You spotted a hummingbird also today? Are they the sweetest? I could not believe he just sat there..
Have been trying to get the rest of the planting done out in the garden before the real heat hits..
Enjoy your weekend, dear friend

Happy Birthday week,

Oh Sheri. I missed your birthday! It's been crazy busy and I've just been swamped. But I hope it was a joyous occasion and that you will celebrate every single day of your birthday month. Yes, every single day.
I, for one, am so very happy you were born. You are a light in the world and how wonderful is that?
Your sunflowers are to be cherished, as well as your dear friend, Darla.
May your new year of life be filled with many memorable and happy occaions, Sheri. Susan
Dear Sheri,
How beautiful the sunflowers are and such a lovely photo of you and your friend.
Long lasting friendship is a true joy and very precious.
Happy weekend dear friend
Hugs

You two do look like twins. The flowers were sweet. A wonderful gift from your long-time friend. I LOVE SUNFLOWERS too. Enjoy every bloom. (You're right...We are kindred spirits, you and I. Besides birthdays in May. My best friend and I have known each other for 36 going on 37 years.)
I lifelong friend is a cherished gift indeed Sheri. You look lovely together - very like twins! Sunflowers are eternally bright and cheerful, and a wonderful symbol of friendship. xx
YOU can enjoy them for much longer than you think. I dried several last year in the sun, and Sheri, they were almost PRETTIER as dried flowers. Oh how I love these, and I've never seen these kind with the light center! How wonderful it is to have a friend who would send you flowers....
Sunflowers are a favorite of mine! Oh, I think you will smile whenever you look at them. What a good friend!
Awww... what a precious friend you have, dear Sheri. You and Darla are simply beautiful and indeed, the two of you look like you could be sisters {{smiles}}
Have a joyous weekend! Love and hugs!
Lovely . I loved the flower the yellow !

Happy belated birthday!! And I love those smiling faces :)
Beautiful, that was so sweet of her. Love the picture of the two of you, and you do look like you could be sisters …
Happy Weekend Sheri!
Oh what a lovely sunny surprise. Your friend and you do look like sisters. I have 4 sunflowers slowly growing in the backyard in pots, I do hope they grow full term so I can enjoy seeds and try my hand at sunflower oil and such.
Sheri, What a wonderful friend to send you such gorgeous sunflowers! The photo of you two is priceless!
I love sunflowers too 🌻
Hugs,
Jody
Good Afternoon my Sunflower sister!
This is so fun to read especially since I have a small crop of them growing in my garden.
Mine do happen to be 3 ft tall, with only only bloom!
I sure do wish that I had planted more, as they grow fast and furious and then poof they are done!
I hope your pretty bouquet is lasting well:)
Happy Sunflower day!
Love,
jemma
What a beautiful gift! Next to roses, Sunflowers are my favorite flower..they are always smiling...and make me smile!
This is precious, Sheri. What a great idea. I've had the same best friend for almost 20 years, and I think I'll send her some flowers too.
LOVE that picture.
xoxo
