 Sunflowers are like snowflakes in that two sunflowers are never alike. Each one unique in it's own way. Take these two giants. Hard to sense the scale of their size but the one to the left is bigger than a basketball in diameter. When it's ready to chop I will have to take a pic of me holding it up so that you have some sense of scale. I've taken a roof shot of what the sunflower jungle looks like.

I know I've spent a lot of time talking about sunflowers and posting pics of them but this guy just fascinates me. The overall massive size of this flower just gets me everytime. I think it's produced all the seeds it's going to produce and it on the end of it's lifecycle.  I wanna let the bees have more fun with it before I chop it's head off.  I wonder how many seeds are in there. It's funny it looks like a shower head or a street light pointing towards the ground. It's so heavy that it can't hold its head up anymore.
