In praise of stillness

The sunflower shrub is shaped like a Christmas tree. A big, fluffy, leafy inverted cone. A single blooming sunflower smiles from the peak, the angel tree topper. I count the buds on this solo sunflower plant. There are a hundred and seven in varying sizes and staggered flowering dates. So this sunflower tree, inspired by the season and tradition of goodwill, will decorate its branches with beautiful blooming baubles of happiness and optimism and continually light up the garden in the coming few months.
