The bees are enjoying the few sunflowers I've managed to grow this year:

A neighbour gave these ones to me so I'll have to ask her. Mine were the normal yellow ones - Giant Single - which did ok considering they were competing with the raspberry bushes!

I grow 'earthwalker' and 'autumn beauty'  sunflowers which are both multi stemmed bronze shades. Just got some more in the Wyvales seed sale, I've tried saving seeds before but had very varying seedlings.
