These have been grown in pots this year, handy as I can move them around to get a better/cleaner background.

Thank you George, and mine too actually

I took these photos in Cannero,Lake Magiorre (Italy) on my recent holiday and it's another reason why I really enjoy visiting mainland Europe. Maybe our climate doesn't lend itself to this kind of display or they just think differently. I can imagine some wayward youths here causing damage to them.

Thats a great set Chris, but for me - got to love a sunflower, I will take a womble later this week as the field down the road from me is now in full flower - they don't last long but so fab when they are open

Cheers Mark

they don't last long but so fab when they are open

I've got a couple of dozen here, BUT the slugs are a real nightmare, even eating the flower heads, and chomping through substantial stalks,
I'm removing a few dozen each night.
Nematodes on order...
