My Goodness - How many flowers are on that thing? Looks great especially considering the weather we've had.

I love that sunflower! How did you keep things looking that good with our weather?

I am impressed.

It's got to be the thick layer of mulch I had put in this spring. I've certainly not fertilized and rarely watered (maybe every couple of weeks).

I've known mulch is a good thing but this year has proven it me beyond a shadow of a doubt!

And yeah, that one mutant sunflower has really burst into gorgeousness, hasn't it? The others look just like regular ones, with a few flowers.
