An 11' sunflower is pretty impressive!
Years ago I grew some (Russian?) variety of sunflower. They got about 12' tall with flowers like dinner plates. :eek:

I'll take a photo of mine if it gets flowers. About 6' tall but probably not going to get much taller. Being how it had to be a stray seed from the nearby bird feeder.

Awesome! :D (y)

We just got back after being away for a few days... to find both our sunflowers lying flat on the ground o_O Looks like it was rather warm, and without water weighing down the containers they are in they toppled over. We've stood them up and given them a long drink! Fingers crossed :whistle:
