I have always loved sunflowers. There's just something about them. In fact it was the flower of our wedding. We had sunflowers on each table and large sunflower arrangements on our deck and in the park for the ceremony.
Andy is very sentimental (believe it or not) and when he's not completely crazy with too much on his plate with work and his doctorate, he will think about me and what I like and then discreetly, and without a word, he'll do something sentimental. Then in true Andy fashion, he'll never even mention that he did it for me or us, etc. And we usually don't discuss it but I know in my heart why he did what he did. I find it very touching.
At some point he bought sunflower seeds. He never told me when or why but they sat on the kitchen counter for a while. And then one day he and Lilly went outside and planted them.
We recently had our first sunflower bloom. Lilly and I were so excited!

We also have crazy New Jersey dinner plate hibiscus that I wanted and now I complain about all the time because it's taken over our yard. But, I must say, the blooms are pretty amazing. They're hanging out next to the sunflowers. 
And this picture wasn't altered at all; it's SOOC (Straight Out Of the Camera). That is the actual color of the blooms. Pretty amazing. And check out the bokeh...
