Just noticed the 11inch miniature is starting to grow more flower heads, one of which is coming out of the side of it's main head. Should be interesting to see what happens.

Just checked the sunflowers that are growing in my vegetable garden. Take a look. Hope everyone is doing well... There is a heat advisory here today 108 outside.

This isn't of a sunflower... just wanted to share another one of my favorite flowers with you guys. Can't remember their name, but they are in the front yard garden.

Sun finally came back out... Little ones should be opening sometime soon..

Hello all, I just have a quick question. Can anyone tell me if this spotting is an issue that I should be worried about? It only happens on the bottom sets of the leaves, but seems like its getting worse. I know that some leaves die off as the plant grows, just want to be sure this isn't something else that is hurting my sunflowers. Thank you!!

Sunflowers in garden doing pretty good. Weather has been very good lately. Hope everyone is well.

Does anyone use any home made sprays to keep insects off of your sunflowers? Mine are really getting torn up lately and I don't want to make something I find on Google, and have ut hurt them even more. Thanks all.

@Treblot84 when you have specific questions about your sunflowers it would be best to post them in a new topic in the relevant forum section. Specific questions are likely to be overlooked here, it's more of a topic for sharing progress

Ooh okay lol sorry will do for now on. Heres some progress tho... Had a little visitor today too.

Thank you very much. I was weeding in the garden and she crawed right up onto my hand, so i placed her on the sunflower and she crawed all the way to the top and just stared at me lol, so i had to snap a pic. Anywho, heres the smallest of my "miniatures" it should be opening / blooming today or tomm.
