It's indeed a very beautiful sunflower. I feel you.

I absolutely love growing mammoth sunflowers. The bumblebees that they attract is so amazing.

I unfortunately haven't been able to get the ones I grow to be very tall. They never grow taller than about half a meter even in a big pot. They're still pretty but I wish they would grow bigger.

That's a beautiful sunflower! Is it in your balcony? How tall is it?

Yes, it is a potted sunflower from my balcony. It must be around 1 meter tall. It has a sister which is about half its size because the pot is smaller!
