I never thought to photograph the flowers from below, easily done if in pots... I must have a try at that, although mine are no way near as advanced as yours, having been outside since March. Actually it could be mistaken for a Sunflower.

Hi
I meant it did have a label originally, sorry.
North Carolina originally the plants are from , then off to France with a grower called Cedric Azais who has a famous nursery "Cedric Carnivores".
I managed to find the old email with all the details. I was informed part of his seedling program.
This was the 4th year with me growing on before it flowered.
