They look great Susie. They look as though they are straining to see where you've gone after taking the photo.Comment

Well I'm really, really pleased with them, they seemed like they were never going to flower ~ then they reward me (and the bees..!! ) with a marvellous display.
The reason they look like they are straining to follow me is actually, they are rather 'on the p**s' from the aftermath of the strong winds and rain a few weeks back ......
They must have some mighty fine roots to keep them planted after the battering they took...!~~~ Gardening is medicine that does not need

Well that was the plan and how i grew them with my son as the school started off with a competition to grow the biggest and were going to be hosted at the local social club but it closed down a month before everyones plants were to be judged along with sunflowers
