Title: Sunflower with single 'twin' flower, possibly a Siamese sunflower
Post by: lisaparkin on July 12, 2011, 22:07:32
This sunflower has grown a single 'twin' sunflower, never seen this before.  I have had sunflowers that grow lots of flowers on seperate stems but never seen this before.  It's like a Siamese sunflower :)

You're very welcome.  I'm sure I learnt about it on this forum (many moons ago).  It's amazing how much you pick up on here.   :)
