It’s the height of it lying down. So you’d best hope it’s got a thick stalk ;-)

This is my entry.



Rough estimate of 8 feet tall, but I don’t know who gets the prize, as it’s self set! And carefully protected itself from the wind :-)

90cm would be 3', if only it was only 90cm

There are some amazing sunflowers near me, I suggested (jokingly) to E 7.11 we should take a picture near one of them to pretend it was ours.
