They are lovely Palustris! Could you please tell me what the top row are? I would like to grow some of those next year.

What a lovely collection - much better than the huge "traditional" sunflowers in my opinion. We've grown the brown ones this year (can't remember the name I'm afraid) and I'm delighted with them. I particularly like the 4th one of yours Eric, the lemony yellow one with the deep veined leaves.
