Hi
Hi there! How are you doing today? First day of summer :) I've got some gorgeous sunflowers growing in my backyard, soaking up the sun.
That's awesome! I don't see many sunflowers where I live. I didn't know helianthus was the technical name. They look like a really interesting type of flower.
I didn't know that either. Its cool how their name is based off it resembling the sun
Oh really? That's interesting. It really does resemble the sun well now that you mention it. I don't know of any other plants that are bright yellow like that.
Yellow is such  bright happy colour. I have it growing in the centre of my garden, with other flowers around it. Kind of like the sun being in the centre of the solar system LOL
Haha, that is really neat. Do you know anything about the type of soil and climate they grow? I live in a high elevation and I'm not sure if they grow well.
I live in Ontario, Canada, and they seem to grow well here. I think the soil here is good, plus I fertilize it. But soil already has so much of what we need to grow things (organic matter, minerals, gases) etc, I can't take any credit for them thriving.
Interesting. I'm in Colorado and it's a really rocky terrain so that may have something to do with it. I have always been interested in growing things but never really tried. 
You should give it a try. It's really rewarding to nurture something.
I think I will. It was nice chatting with you!
Same! Have a good night!
