I love seeing fields of sunflowers - going to work in the morning they would all be facing East, and coming home they would face West - their faces [flowers] following the sun. Beautiful sight.

I am not sure as they were as tall as yours though Jenny!

Beautiful both of you.
I grew some a couple of years ago and dried the heads off and hung them up for the birds, they were very popular.

Helena I grew 2, one that Kyla planted and this one I planted. Guess which one has done the best
The idea is that the birds can have the seeds.
Good heavens perhaps I should measure myself, maybe I have shrunk too

Oh the sunflower is a whopper, wondered what you were meaning then Tang!

Lol Thanks Eileen

Ooooh TW, I hope so with a sack of gold.

Malka this one always faces east which is a shame because it means my neighbour sees the best of it!

Thanks Lynn
