A little update on the sunflower project mentioned in a previous blog.

  1. The pizza looks soooo delicious, Marcie. Are there any leftovers ;-)

    I don't have any sunflowers in my yard, but I saw a lot of bees in the flowering herbs, does this count too!?

  2. Yes, it counts! The world needs many bees. I think there are other categories of flowers for the research, as well.
