Sunflower.


Finally, a photo!! This is my first sunflower that I've ever been able to grow! Out of a dozen seeds I planted, only two have grown .......

Been a bad year for sunflowers here. We only got two and they are only about 1/2 meter high.

That's good to hear, I thought it was something I was doing wrong. This one grew to about 2 1/2m, the other is about 1 1/2m.

I'm so glad you're back, Gecko. Hope you had a great holiday!

I don't know how you get pics like that... I can see the flower itself, but getting the bee ON it had to be hard. Awesome and lovely.

But worth it for just that pic!

Thank Karen & M.O.M. There should be a few more photos once this wind dies .......

I've just been out to check this one DM, it has no perfume at all, maybe your sunflowers are a bit different to ours ......
