Flowers in the Rain

And when we eventually got home, some of our gorgeous flowers had finally bloomed.

Which is funny, because I'd just been saying to Oma the evening before how the sunflowers had ended up coming to nothing.  I had such high hopes for them when way back in May they started shooting up.  Most reached heights of about a meter, but only in August, when the rain classic Scottish summer weather kicked in, did the heads finally appear (so I'm guessing we probably didn't water them enough during the good part of the summer). 

What a happy flower.
