Some brilliant photos...thanks for sharing them!  :)
When a few more of my gloriously short sunflowers are in bloom I'm hoping to add to the photos too.  ;)

What's happened to Ice - no photos?

I guess she's keeping her prize-takers under wraps   ;)

I'm not growing any so can't show any photos. :tongue2:  Prefer to grow something more my shape, dumpy and round, rather than stick thin. :)

You forgot to add: beautifully proportioned, eye catching, colourful, awe inspiring with a sense of presence!  ;)

I love your photo Zeb. Your short sunflower looks as if it is aspiring to be as tall as the competition height one  :lol:

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.

Is the sunflower standing on tip-toes?  :lol:

That's doing really well.... Nice to have helpers too!  ;)

Good grief  :(  Mine are not even as tall as me yet and I come up to about half way up that sunflower Zeb.

Well done you :)

Read the small print.... I bet it says "given the right conditions" or "in the best growing environment" or "this is a general statement and cannot be guaranteed"  ::)
