When you pass by Leo Glen on the way to the pond, you will see a drift of yellow made by the many different type of sunflowers. Some of the common ones: the Maximilian’s stiff, plains, willow leaf and Jerusalem artichoke. To me they are all sunny happy signs of fall. I saw a number of Monarch butterflies flying from flower to flower to get the needed nectar for their long migratory to Mexico.
