    I love that Steve said he created this sunflower, then quickly said, “well, me and God”. Glad God gave Steve creativity and passion to keep going 13 years. Also that Steve gave the glory to God. Love your work and a blessing to hear about it all. Fascinating guest Erin, thanks for sharing Sunflower Steve with us.

    Erin, Steve was a fascinating guest, and his enthusiasm was contagious! I loved listening to him talk about his chosen career. He made me laugh out loud when he spelled out 'H O A R Y verbena. His enthusiasm for creating new varieties of flowers was delightful. I got a kick out of you saying that he was in your phone as Sunflower Steve, and he came right back with, 'and you're in my phone as Impatient Erin. What a fun video, I loved it! ~Margie
