Sunflowers 2021


Since these are second-generation, this year's sunflowers are not as big as last year's. I'd put several seeds in one pot, and some in other pots. There was one pot of seeds that did not work at all. Some of those in there pots that opened but the flowers quickly dried up.
 


I have been wondering about the one seen above. Notice the brown shades on the petals. Is there any particular name for a sunflower like this?




Because so many seeds were put into this one pot, some caused two flowers on one stem. This is what happened on the one in the front of this photo. A larger flower with a smaller on on the side, Has anyone ever seen something like this?




Several of the flowers looked like the one seen above, which looks more like a daisy.

The broken pot on the left was the one that contained the seeds that failed to germinate.
