I didn't pamper mine this year, this one grew to about 8ft. but I think its pretty.

Lovely Carol, I am envious. The sunflowers I grew this year (seeds sown by Joshua) were a disaster. We had a weekend of heavy rain and strong winds, the wind does blow in the Fens, the plants just seemed to give up. Manic has kindly sent me seeds for next year, I am going to put them in a more sheltered area of the garden. Here's hoping :)

That's beautiful Carol, very pretty :)
well done!
What a stunner!! what variety is it?
Great pic! I think we have a potential competition winner, send it to Ken!
Lorna, The seeds were last years. Last year I fed them daily and I got one over the guttering on my roof. I live in a very windy place, totaly exposed to the Westerlies - al my trees are like loo brushes. The Sunflower is put at the side of the conservatory for a bit of protection.
that's a lovely lemon colour :)
