growing up, my grandpa would plant huge sunflowers every year without fail, it started when my sister and i were around 2/3 years old until we were 8/9 and moved out of our then house. since the sunflowers were so large and he planted so many of them, her and i would run through the stalks and pretend we were fairies and he was the giant gardener who made sure our land was always tended to. sunflowers always make me happy, because every time i see one i think of that time in my life. i miss it
