I disowned them - that`s Zigs attempt at a rescue job actually. I think he might have ''spoken'' to them :giggle:

These are the ones you gave me, didn't like to say :D

The big guy opened up today! The only frustrating thing about my crop is that the biggest ones face my neighbors to the east and they don’t seem to like to look at me...I guess I’ve been telling too many dad jokes and am getting too embarrassing.

Planted out half of them by the pond.

Had to put protection round them as we've got a plague of rabbits and partridges :eek:

I live in an old house with5 apartments. The girl who lives upstairs from us gave me some Sunflower seeds, I put them in mini greenhouse and about 8 plants came up, I now see she has them planted in the little garden area attached to front of the house. I will post a picture up here in August or September when they have matured.

These are my 2 official favorite flowers. There’s something about the red hues that I’ve always loved in sunflowers.

It's hard to tell, as no-one included the photo of their username and we don't have many measurements :LOL: .

It looks like @Fionnuala has the tallest, I think @GreenJR has the biggest bloom and @DrMike27 has the most charismatic in post #27!

Well done guys :).
