Definitely a sunflower. We had one too, just popped up from nowhere, no seed was planted. It looked like a weed at first but larger so we left it just to see what happened. It grew and grew to about 5'5" and it now has a beautiful yellow face!

It's wonderful, isn't it?  I'll ask my mate to save some if he can and let you know.   :)

Yes indeed Flowerlady, but can you trust the colour in the picture?  ;D

BTW Amphibian, Windows Color System is on it's way as part of the next Windows operating system (Vista). Not an ICC compliant colour-managed workflow but better than what they have now.

Georgie

Right oh, wardy.   ;D
