One of Many ...Sunflowers. Pictures by all members

OMG 8ft i planted some mini sun flowers this week end just gone & cant wait2see how small they grow?lol

I love sunflowers

The only thing better than a sunflower in your garden...is a field full of them all turning their heads to the sun like soldiers passing the royal box!! lol. I have some small red ones... very deep maroon. but the birds like the tall ones..and put on acrobatic displays. another good reason to plant them.

A second thought... I planted Mexican sunflowers in my mother's garden 20 odd years ago... they have smaller orangey flowers but grow as tall as regular sunflowers...wonderful plants for the very back of a border...their botanical name is Tithonia...maybe worth a try if you have an area in the back that you're not going to be doing much with.(Jacque?)
