Sunflowers in December

The thought of sunflowers in December is a strange one for many of you, and even for lots of people in Austin, but the fact remains that an observer of nature here does stand a good chance of seeing a few sunflowers near the end of the year. As confirmation, here’s a picture I took on December 3 along Great Northern Blvd., a place in north-central Austin I’ve come to rely on for bush sunflowers, Simsia calva.
