The homespun Sunflower is the flower that heralds summer’s tumble into fall and is a pleasing site in the landscape. The nectar of Sunflowers and Goldenrod are some of the last floral sources for the honey bee to collect before the onset of the barren winter months.
Our Blooming tea for the month of September, bloomed with the yellow sunlight of sunflowers but this one also included tiny pink rosebuds. The flavor and scent was definitely a bold floral rose, encompassed in a green tea liquor.
“And the
yellow sunflower by the brook, in autumn beauty stood.”
― William Cullen Bryant, American poet 1800’s
