Sunflower

[Scrumpy]

I have a very tall sunflower in the garden.. I have anchored her to the fencing around the decking using a long bean pole.. 
She has grown well above the bean pole.. I started her off in the sun room.. 

 Last year I was at a funeral for a young girl.. Everyone was given Sunflower seeds to grow.. I have never planted sunflower seeds before and was amazed how quickly it grew... However, friends who also planted the seeds are not having much luck with them.. Mine is the tallest and strongest..  I am pleased that mine were successful..
 When do the flowers open.. ?  Anyone else growing sunflowers.?

[Scrumpy]

I did grow a couple of very tall ones some years ago.  Can't find the photo that I took.

I know you are taking the piss..
 You'll laugh the other side of your face when I make the front page of the Sun newspaper..

No I'm not !  If I was taking the piss I'd have mentioned Prince Charles      sorry King Charles.
