We have agapanthus too, they seem to have appeared out of nowhere this year, they certainly weren't here last year. I've always wanted agapanthus :-)

Blimey, Elsie, B must have very green fingers.

So the top two pictures are some of Edith's, possibly 7 foot tall, I didn't measure them. The one against the tree is also super tall. Then the one you can see that's by my shoulder (bottom left picture) is mine and was a late planted one.

Any more sunflower updates? It's the monthly check-in, time flies, only two more months to go . . .

I'll get some pictures of mine shortly.

Here's my best sunflowers, three together, unmeasured but I'm 5'2" and on the same level as them (no deduction for a pot :-))

And my agapanthus for Elsie
