A Surprise

On my back porch, I have many potted flowers. In one pot, I am nursing a plant that wasn't doing so well. Recently, out of the pot grew this stock, that I thought was part of the plant I am nursing. Well, to my surprise, a flower bud popped out. So, I continued to watch to see what it was. The flower bud opened. I was shocked to find it is a sunflower. The sunflower seeds must have come from the bird feeder. Thank you birdies for throwing your food around :-)

Here is a picture of my new sunflower.
