The sunflower in my profile is a picture I took of a sunflower I grew in my garden. I was pretty proud of it. I've used it in a number of things.

It's lovely, too! They are my mom's favorite flower.
Historically I've liked purple flowers like the columbine and irises, but ever since I got a yellow kitchen, I've kind of gotten into sunflowers. They are pretty and produce edible seeds (that I can eat or can feed to my bunnies and eat the bunnies). I get a pretty garden and productivity.
I love purple and blue flowers, too!
And utilizing useful and beautiful things is honestly a better way to live, IMO.
First open bloom on this bush this season. ☺️ 
My sister's favorite color is purple!
I like sprouting them for my chickens. This gave them something green to eat in the winter. I give them unsprouted too. There are many growing in the bedding when I pile it up for them to pick through
I miss my chickens, but I developed a lung allergy and had the choice of chickens or breathing. I had to go with breathing.
