Russian Mammoth

Maeve and Russian Mammoth Sunflower

Last Summer we planted Russian Mammoth Sunflowers. They are huge and grow about 10 or 15 feet up! This is me next to one. You can see the size comparison because I am holding up a tape measure which doesn't even come close to the top of the sunflower.

Toothy says in his gruff voice, "I think these are cool. They are good for hiding in. Well when I say "in" I mean on the stalk and on the leaves. And they are great for climbing."

All that was last year, and this year they reseeded. Just wanted to tell you about this HUUUUUUUUGE sunflower.
Bye,
