Sunflower 'Claret'

Is this one, one of your daughters very pretty colours

lovely colour..... you were lucky it came back..........

thanks

And I left it too late to sow the ones you sent :-(

But will have something for next year :-)

did they come out all right then David?

Oh yes, Angie, but haven't even budded yet.

This is a stunner.

I wonder if mine will do the same? But be on the safe side I have dried a few seed heads.

oh! no flowers David?.... that is strange... you know that they are the tree type?... they don't just flower once they have little branches that each have a flower on the end... so buds are much smaller....you sure? i would have thought they would have flowered by now.... mine are all but finished..and OldG... this is the only one that came back... i think i pulled the others out when clearing up during autumn.. this one i left in as i collected the seed from it....and i just cut it back once i had the seed as i had already dug over this bed and planted my spring bulbs... so David the seed i sent you was from the same plant that you see here... i wonder if there is any relivance to this coming back and yours not flowering??? mmmmm any sunflower experts out there that may know the answers that we seek?????
