I know this had to be very very fun for Phillip, and who can resist smiling at the sweet face of a sunflower. Thanks for the brat!

I remember one year my brother grew some huge variety like this and he planted the whole pack in a backyard garden, and it was amazing to see! I think his were somewhere in the 10-12 ft. tall range...and the size of the stalks were incredible! Just like yours!!! WOWZERS!<br /><br />Hope all is well in your world. Good to see your lovely post!!!<br /><br />See you later (and thanks again for the suasage)!
