Sunflowers


This is the most successful of all the sunflower plants I have growing in different parts of the garden.  I have yet to put a net over it, which would be a shame, but the cockatoos come in droves.  Other plants that are grown close together are covered because they are so obvious to the marauding birds that would pick a flower only to drop it to the ground.


Sunflowers protected.


This sunflower seedhead is the size of a bread plate.  I hate to se it go to waste so it is getting some protection.


It would be nice to have all the sunflowers exposed but they would not last long with the number of birds that come to visit my garden.  I love to have them but not at the expense of my sunflowers.
