Little sunflowers~Today's Flowers~062813

My seeds are coming up now in my wildflower garden and among them are what I call "wild sunflowers".  I don't really know the name of these.  I see them alongside roads in the eastern Sierra Nevada, as well as down here in the desert near Palm Springs, CA.  I've tried to grow them for years, but I finally bought a wildflower mixture and they were in the mix.  I do believe they need full sun (these get afternoon shade).  But, I'm enjoying these, along with the zinnias, cosmos, and other plants that have sprouted.  I'll post more photos of my garden after this one, so if you wish to see it, please look for the other posts!  Today's Flowers for June 28, 2013.  To visit TF, please go to:  http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com/
