Very good. Inever realised sunflowers could be fragrant.mim pretty sure mine aren’t.Old school varieties seem to have intense aromas...and copious amounts of pollen which bring in the bees and sunbirds too...MM:)

Great post MM.
Never knew they had a perfume. Wonderful flowers & great symbols of hope. So appropriate in these days of FIRE & HEAT
Thanks Euge

They look fantastic!
We have grown a few over the years, some large some small. It’s great to have the bees around too.
