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!  ::)

Thanks Jamie! I don't expect to win anything for the height of my flower but I might win a geography prize? :D ;)

All these late entries to the competition - me thinks there are some pretty confident people out there.  I declared at just over 6' knowing that I was already beaten so it will be interesting to hear about everyone elses.

Oh bless :lol:  In your capacity as Head Boy of the site can I ask you to officially measure my tallest sunflower when you come down.  Do you need have an official AVG tape measure?

Is there any way I can get you to add another six foot on to the height so that I am in the running for the top prize?  Would a bribe help?
