Dwarf Sunflower "Choc Chip" (Helianthus annuus)

I've told you before David, you're only supposed to eat the seeds!! And they WONT taste of chocolate, so leave it alone!! LOL

Yes, Mp! Will give up on the midnight feasts right now! :-)

Looks great though! Funnily enogh, when I clicked on the pic, I was eating sunflower seeds !

Sunflower seeds? I do like the smell of them drying out in the oven, must admit. Right now, though, I want a deep-fried steak pie 'n' chips from the chippy - but, of course, they are all closed! :-(

Yuk! Deep fried pies?
Nah, a chicken supper, but it has to be the leg!!

may be a bit nibbled but it still looks great

I wonder who "names" plant varieties. This is just like any other dwarf sunflower, after all. I think I was one of those "suckers" who fell for the trendy "chocolate" name. We have, however, decided here that the dwarf varieties, with their multiple flowers, are far more interesting, better value, and easier to look at than the 10ft and over ones, heehee!

Easier to eat the seeds too! lol

They Shoulda bred one with my fave choc cosmos & gave you a brown one!

There are a few totally brown sunflower varieties! Go down to the Encyclopedia, click the letter S or type in sunflower, and you'll see pics - I know, coz I "edit" that page, lol! My fave is a variety called "Black Magic", but didn't find the seeds this year. :-)

But you coulda had a CHOCOLATE one!
Black magic is good tho!

Sorry, but can't find ,in time, and grow, every chocolate-named plant under the (noticeably absent) sun - they would've melted anyway, like the Indian Prince's chocolate palace, lol!

LOL!

I love the colours in this pic(not just because you were kind to me honest, though that's why I looked at your pics) I think it looks like a painting, beautiful :-))

lovely photo david....
