Mine only reached 5foot and another one fell over early in its life and turned into a sunflower bush.  Unable to post photo but it definately wasn't the prettiest.

We're calling it an honourable draw between yorky and carlrmj at 10' 2".

Whilst yorky didn't submit a photo with measurement, its apparent height can be seen from the photos. Had it been declared any taller than carlrmj's, I may have had to strictly enforce the rules! It's just a bit of fun anyway and no one is losing.

The poll will come later when I've time to sort out the contenders for the best photo.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

And the same to you Carl  :D It was my first attempt at a Sunflower and I found it a heck of a job to prevent it blowing down in the wind.
Sets a low standard and fails to achieve it.
