    But you do see them on thistles B3  :D

    Nothing worse than a hairy sunflower.... ;)

    They tend to be slug fodder here so I rarely grow them. I did grow a very dark one a couple of years ago, but it was more attractive in bud than in flower  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    It probably absnailed down that grass.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Good luck.
    I'll race you. Last one with a flower is a rotten egg!

    @B3 how are your sunflowers doing? Mine are the free ones from GW mag in January. 'Velvet Queen' I think. I doubt they will get 6ft tall, but it's satisfying that the slugs didn't manage to snaffle them all.

    Will take a pic later. Haven't looked for a couple of days.
    I bought mine. The packet just says sunflower claret F1.
    Sounds like a racing car.
