Not, I hasten to point out, the first sunflower to bloom in Eldorado - they've been out for a couple of weeks. But this is the first one that's bona fide on our property. It's a feral one, in that it's not a relative (so far as I know) of the ones that I planted in large phalanxes last summer - there are a fair number of self-seeded plants coming up fast, but they'll be a few more weeks before they bloom - I just hope that we'll see them before we leave. Despite the heat, and despite the recent lack of rain, the early monsoon has meant that there are spectacular wildflowers pretty much everywhere.
