When I lived in Germany I often walked down to the marktplatz to buy fresh flowers, especially sunflowers. My little flower shop would take your selections and wrap them in the most beautiful paper and tie them raffia. 5 marks. Those were the days before the Euro. That generally translated to about $2.50 back then.
And the price tag at Kroger- $2.50. Marked down from more than I usually spend on flowers, or anything for that matter.
Here are those flowers still smiling at me- 2 weeks later.
Photograph taken just yesterday.
Treat yourself.
Remind yourself.
Surprise yourself.

Beautiful!!! They are holding up great! Always a good thing to do something to make you smile! For just $2.50 you have gotten 2 weeks of smiles!
It is important for us to remember to treat ourselves! Love those sunflowers and good to buy hardy flowers that will last longer.
I love your sunny surprise!
Gorgeous! What a delightful treat.

Are you planning to grow some sunflowers? I love having my own. Yours are gorgeous and I'll remember the "bang for my buck" knowing how long yours have lasted!

Oh, you just made me smile. My all time favorite. I had a small patch last summer. My dream is to have an entire acre of them on the farm. Enjoy! You deserve the treat!
Love sunflowers! The first summer here, we had a giant sunflower that bloomed in the corner of our property. We didn't know what it was. We kept refering it as "that Little Shop Of Horrors plant"...it was so huge! I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a sunflower!
Great photo and beautiful flowers, especially for two weeks!
I love your beautiful flowers. Sunflowers are one of those flowers that truly do smile at you! And you never told me you lived in Germany, how wonderful!

Kroger is the only place I buy flowers. They last forever. And the clearance ones are just as good as the ones at regular price.
Another great post, thanks. I too love sunflowers. Recently I saw somewhere a picture of pink sunflowers and would love to get my hands on some. I did not know that you could get pink sunflowers.
