Sunflower

For many years we have had a bird feeder in the garden and the users of it have established a pecking order (no pun intended).  Basically this involves the tits clinging on and pecking away whilst the pigeons stand around at the bottom collecting all the seeds that have fallen.  The result of this is that we have a lot of fat pigeons who just stumble around waiting for their next feed!

This summer we have had a pleasant accident resulting from this process as a sunflower seed has managed to plant itself in one of the cracks in the patio.  The result is a magnificent flower - an accident, yes.  But a pleasant one.
