Sunflowers For Back To School

I have been working a bit in the raised beds at Dike Newell this summer.   I have planted about 40 sunflowers that should bloom this fall.  There are many different varieties such as Peach Passion, Goldy Honey Bear, and Elves Blend.  Depending upon the variety, they should grow between 2 and 6 feet.  We will be using them during our study of plant life cycles at the beginning of the year.  Here are some pictures of what the raised beds look like right now.
Some Easter Lillies are also blooming!

There are also some Marigolds and Chrysanthemums.
