Have resurrected a few from the dead but must repot all soon.

 

[tufty79]

i need to repot them cos they're too bunched together
i have some small straggly ones
i have some weird twisty ones
and i have two *monster* ones

 

[aqua]

we have 1 currently around 6ft, the other 5 are around 5ft

7 foot of sunflower growing genius is now poking over the top of my garage. I swear blind it is growing visibly taller every day.

*Hides from mutant sunflower triffid monster I have raised*

My best one is about 5 foot tall.

I'm actually rather proud of it

The others are about 3 foot but they are supposed to be small

I think the one survivor up here is about 18 inches! It's been a bit crap has this month's weather.

some nasty lil critters have killed one of my pots (of 4 mini sunflowers) - hoping the other one will be ok

[aqua]

[vipper]

I swear blind the top turns around and follows you. It looks a bit like:

 

[tufty79]

my biggest has broked

but here are the rest (and no i've not repotted them yet. and yes i *am* cheating with the wooden one)

 

[northernhord]

Mine are nearlly four feet high despite the relentless piss down rain.

 

[aqua]

[beesonthewhatnow]

Mine's the biggest in our yard though

 

[aqua]

[northernhord]

^^ youz'e two must be getting a deal more sunlight than I,m getting up here.

My best one so far has already got its flower head on and its only about 80cm tall - Giant, my arse!

Planted some more about 2 weeks ago - just to get some idea which ones to plant next year. Skyscraper looks like a winner

eta: actually measured it against me this morning - about 160cm <note to self - heap praise on sunflower and it will keep growing taller>

 

[moomoo]

My best one is about 5' 4.

I'm quite pleased with it.

 

[citygirl]

mine's about 1ft tall...not bad to say it grew by "accident"..landed upside down in shallow compost whilst i was tidying up, and just left, ignored! it sprouted against all the odds...re-potted it just now...hope it survives, it looks better, at least

 

[aqua]

here you go bees next to *his* sunflower (for ref, he's 1.7m tall)

(the other 5 are like the other one in this photo)

Aqua
that pics been photoshopped! look a the carefully positioned washing line, which helped to hide the blended pixels that she used to copy sections of the stalk and wall!!!!

 

[aqua]

we have 2 washing lines

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

here you go bees next to *his* sunflower

It IS mine.

I potted it, therefore it's mine.

 

[aqua]
