Sunflower Regularus Ordinarus Annuus

Regularus Ordinarus has many species, including our sunflower of the common annuus species. There are 'nearly 1550 genera and 24,000 species' of sunflower*. There are so many species and genera of sunflowers that each one has its very own artist.

Hot, muggy; it’s LA in the dusty days Freeways everywhere Down to La Jolla or is It Balboa? White wood, planked piers, neat. A beachy salt water breeze at last Salt water smells overshadow the fish- Looking down through an unseen world under its blue-green cover. A Glass bottom life. Where was today during all those years?
