This looked innocent enough a little over a week ago, but now there is something suspicious about this sunflower.
Now it is slumped right over. We had sunflowers last year as well and could see them clearly from our kitchen window while we ate, but this year they aren't in view. However, one morning last summer Austyn noticed some movement and realized that he was watching some finches. They are the same bright colour as the sunflower which would explain their colour because they were so camouflaged that we normally wouldn't have noticed that they were there. So, this year, instead of having a good view, we now have to do a bit of detective work. The first clue is that the sunflower is tipped over from extra weight. The second clue is that there are seeds shells all over the tipped over base. The third clue is that some of the petals are pulled out to make way for a little head to reach.
The fourth clue is that the seeds close to the side with no pedals are all gone. Hmm... finches?
