In case of sunflower, a common misconception is that sunflower heads track the Sun across the sky. The uniform alignment of the flowers does result from heliotropism in an earlier development stage, the bud stage, before the appearance of flower heads. The buds are heliotropic until the end of the bud stage, and finally face East. That is why blooming (and faded) flowers of the sunflower growing at the open space, are living compasses (but not too exact): west is behind, north to the left, and south to the right.
The cosmos are finally blooming.
The tomatoes are ripening faster than we can eat them.
Continued steps toward peace and friendship.

Wow, what a difference between that lush patch of growing things and the barren, sad-looking unhappy earth before you took care of it.
You are an Earth-mother, Zhoen!
Next year, the north side. After that, the verge! Hidden green thumb. Who knew?
Well I didn't know that. Garden looking very good.
