Backlit Sunflower


Backlit Sunflower

I thought this was a ho hum sunflower until the sun went down. It took on the appearance of shimmering stained glass or glowing ambers.

Thanks Petaltracey We had lots of fun with that growing up. I thought it was a good compliment to the sunflower I think it's still available today in stores.

Thanks for brining back those fun memories. If you go to the "Toys R Us" website or "Hasbro" you will find Spirograph which I believe you can order online.

Jane - I Remember "drawing" an Owl with my Spirograph! (Sorry just had to add that, but it's getting off the subject of Bathgate's Autumnal Sunflower!)
