Sometimes you just have to have flowers for the sake of having flowers. These sunflowers caught my eye this morning (they were in my garden) and I thought they could bring a little sunshine to the chimps’ day today.

Jody looked at the flowers and then did a taste test.

After eating a few, she took one with her out onto Young’s Hill and dropped it by her feet as she focused on eating her primate chow at breakfast.

    But did they eat them? Or it didn’t go past a taste test.

    Nature was smiling when it made sunflowers.

    I bet they would really like the ones with the seeds.
