I have been meaning to read this section for awhile. I just thought I'd mention that I have a sunflower collection, a small one. I hope this year with our drought etc. that I didn't lose any colors.
I hope to post a couple of pics when I can.
I lost my first post, will try again with these recent photos.

Lots better than mine this year, J. I managed an A4A win 2 or 3 years back...I'm now religated to novice with this lot!
lovely pics, jellycakes, here's a couple of ours this year, quite like the red one..the two in wierd places are spontaneous ones, so I'm not sure of the colour, couldn't bear to pull them up ;D
I have a few volunteers in odd places as well Manics.
;D
:( Something ate the leaves on 2 of my sunflowers, but the flower is doing well. I have it growing by an old stone wall.
