This was planted on boxing day in a tin and has lived in our conservatory ever since. And before you all make wisecracks.....I do mean the sunflower! ;) ;D ;) ;D

Blinking cheek! She was very proud, and our sons is just begining to emerge. Father Christmas gave them sunflowers in a tin to grow, and they did. She is now hoping to save the seed and grow a mini sunflower plantation! ;D

All the 'bird-seed' plants I have out are well over 3' tall......not a sign of a flower on any of them.
(Please ask the flower expert in the first posting how she has a flower and I don't!) :'(

I think because she planted it Christmas day and it lived in my conservatory! :o
Here are a couple of mine on the plot, taken today.
They don't look terribly impressive, but there is still plenty of time, a drop of rain wouldn't go a miss! >:(

Darn sight more impressive than mine look EJ ;) Mine didn't have a very good start - battling with greenfly and then no rain to bring them on - don't stand a chance really. I don't think I will be winning any prizes in the competition :(

6 foot! Hells bells, better give mine a good talking to tomorrow! Mind you, they are about my face high, so a pathetic 5 foot 2 ! The wind caused 2 to break free from their stakes, but didn't damage them, all secured again now and looking good. No flower buds showing yet in Essex either! ;D
