Very similar :-) Your pictures show more detail than mine so I suspect they are a different make. But I could be wrong, I often am :-)

At last! A couple of mine have flowered. Not very large heads. If I stood next to them, like Chris did, they'd look quite tall.



And see, there's another wee face at the back of the greenhouse. Keek! :-)

Was there a prize for the biggest sunflower, rather than the tallest?

I was going to leave this a bit longer, but we have squirrels in the garden

so I decided I’d better get it before they do.
