Well that has cheered up a dull and rainy morning, Geo! They are wonderful - I take it that you either have a serious microclimate, or that you didn't take the pics today...?

Lovely pictures!
What variety of sunflower is that? I'm growing some sunflowers as well but the flowers are only quite small with yellow centres, and I prefer the sort you see in france, like yours lol.

Thanks for sharing them Geo. I wish I could grow sunflowers but the cat always manages to break them off.

I think the sunflowers I sowed this year must have called a meeting and decided not to bother this year

Lovely pictures Geo!
- I'm still waiting for my sunflowers to flower, and I've only just got the first flowers on my courgettes
Good to see yours doing so well
