I'm glad I photographed mine when I did. The seeds have set fully now, but the petals are fast on the way out!

When people have there final result, which i know some do but some wont have for a while, post the end size of the sunflower with a picture to prove it and ill put the hieght by your name on the first page.

[arugula]

Sorry to be dense Jamie, does that mean you need another pic with a ruler to prove the height, or do you believe me, where I posted the height with the picture and there's no chance my straggly specimen will win anything anyway? 

[Jamie Butterworth]

It was aimed more at people who had finished but hadnt posted a photo yet, i will believe you 

Do you think i should also have anouther 'class' so to speak, aswell as having the tallest, (which needs a picture proving it), we could have a vote to see the best sunflower using a poll thread?

[arugula]

Yes, I think that would be nice. You get so many colour variations, a vote on people's favourite would be good.

[Jamie Butterworth]

Good Ill do that then

Not sure how high mine is.
To give an idea of height, my assistant is holding an eight foot (2.4 mtr) length of timber along side it.

mine is no were near this size.....mine is about six feet (or just under)

well i was sat here quietly confident that i had a huge sunflower, now im not so sure. but 1 of them is still reaching for the sky and still closed

Is there a competition section for the tallest with the least leaves?

My father, who looks out of the window at the bird table, found a stray sunflower was in the way so trimmed it..... quite a lot... and still it grows! 

And here it is.... one nearly nude stray sunflower..

I've been watching this thread with interest...it's a great comp. I didn't enter though cos mine is a feeble 6ft compared to everyone elses.....

BUT my nextdoor neighbour planted 3 seeds with her little girl earlier in the year (which I watered while they were away) and one is HUGE!! It's next to my shed and my shed is 8ft high and it's way bigger.....must be at the very least a 10ft sunflower and it's just got it's head, might nip n take a pic. She's dead proud.

[arugula]

What's feeble about 6 feet? Mine is "declared" at only 5 feet!  But then, I'm quite amazed we actually got any to grow here at all!
