I have 6 of the dwarf ones they are all in flower and some of them have got small flowers forming on the stem branch joint is it best to remove the main flower as it finishes flowering to encourage the other small flowers
Those Sunflowers are looking really good. I would'nt worry about a few raggy leaves, mine are shocking but it's down to the weather (and maybe a few creatures) If I see new flowers forming then yes, for some of them I'll cut off the main head to encourage them but I do usually leave a big head on to make seeds.

Some of mine are just starting to open, I'll post pics when they get there!
Similar to Steve and Baz, mine are just starting to open or in the early stages of flowering.
Looking good baza, keep those pics coming. Most of mine are in flower now although I lost one with the storms the other day.
TA DAAAAA

Mine seem to have really ragged ugly leaves now and im not certain if it is pests or wind damage.
here they are about 3 weeks ago.
This is them yesterday. if you look between 3rd and 4th I have marked on the wall at 2 Metres. Measures from the soil height.

Got 3 now in flower but the only problem is they are facing my neighbours garden (bugger)
Theses ones won't be long
