When my Uncle was asked that question (about his roses) by a curious passer by he answered deadpan and without hesitation “ham & eggs”. Might also work for sunflowers

My sunflower seedlings got taken indoors last night. Wasn't sure they'd survive the torrential rain!

I think my Sunflowers have enjoyed the changeable weather over the last couple of weeks. Starting to fly now :-)

Those look healthy, bigleggy :)

My tall ones are less than 12" high and scabby after a fortnight in the ground. The wee ones are just putting out their second pair of proper leaves.

Mine are looking quite sad! Not done well in the mixed weather we've had.
