Helianthus annuus

Nameless Giant Sunflower. I like the shade of yellow in this one.

Evening Sun still blooming.

The sweet pea is growing up through the giant sunflower all by itself

That’s a very clever use of space! 👍

Another from the packet of Evening Sun seeds I grew this year. I really like these colours 💛🧡🤎

It looks like a painting 🥰

I thought the same Barbara. The petals look as if they have brushstrokes @jacaranda

Yes, a perfect description 👍

Amazing flower 💛💛❤️❤️

Beautiful colours in this giant sunflower. About 8 feet now

Just gorgeous.

Whopper 🌻

It sure is @juliesgarden

Thanks Susan @novicegardenlover

Wow

🧡🧡🧡

You're welcome Nicola.

Victim of the winds today. Might be too early for it to open. Worth a try though. Message to self-stake them better next time

Hello Sunshine 🌞

Hello 👋🏼

Hello sunshine indeed! Beautiful! 🌻🌻

And his brother who sneaked in with other seedlings in the raised bed at the back. 🌻😂

#sunflower Sunning itself this morning 🌻

That's a pretty one 🌻🌻

It’s the best one. They’ve been very poor this year Jane. Think it might have been too wet and not enough sun. I was talking to my neighbour and he said he had planted 50 and got none this year @pelly

Oh that’s awful, poor man 😞😞

He usually has lovely ones at his front door @pelly

Amazing flower!

Giant sunflower head measures nearly ten inches in diameter. Loadsaseeds!!

Giant sunflower cut down today 😟. Am drying the head for next year’s seeds. See next post.

Got to love a photo with a Westie in it! 😍

He’s always in the middle of things James 😂 @bandicoot

Your helper looks just like my sister's dog Bobo! 🐕

Peek a boo! Thinking about opening.

Spent some time today deseeding the sunflower heads I've been drying. Top photo is 'chaff' bottom photo, seeds. Bit of a faff. They had better grow!
