RE: Smiley sunflowers followed me home

Lovely farm. We used to have a sunflower plant. Just one but it was very prolific, having as much as 5 to 6 blooms at one time although the first one usually was the largest. And yes, they are tall plants, remembering they were taller than my 5'9" daughter. Just one plant but was the centerpiece of the garden for a while. A d now a whole farm of it!! What a joy. So great of you to have found these and share here. Thanks was indeed a sunny and bright post 🌞🌞🌞

Wow, so one grew into many more? I did hear they're pretty easy to grow, maybe that's why there are so many sunflower patches. It must be lovely to have them in your back yard to view all the time.

We only had one plant but would have been very easy to have more because each bloom had so many seeds. The problem was there wasn't much space to grow them. Here are some pics of that one plant.

In the last pic you can see the center of the flower which is color green. Those are actually the seeds which you can plant when the flower dies. No wonder sunflower seeds are sold everywhere as a snack like peanuts.
