Dark Lord of the Backyard Kingdom



After keeping me in suspense for the last month, the tallest sunflower in my garden has finally bloomed. And I found out from Gayla's blog yesterday that he's a "Chocolate Cherry." The phlox and marigolds and coneflower bow down before him.

I would love a bunch of those in my garden - if only to confuse my neighbors.
