Just got lucky, Melanie. Those sunflower plants are right outside my window beside my desk here. I looked out and there he was. I hurried out as quietly as I could but he still took off when I first approached. But then he came back and settled again, and I literally got the cell phone within a foot of him.
Hey, anybody know if I can pinch those silly sunflowers to make them branch? They were supposed to top out at just over 4ft. and they're approaching 6ft now. Some of them have a single bud on top so I suppose I'll wait until the first flowers open, choose the ones I like best and get rid of the rest. They're just way too big for the spot I planted them.
