Cool, there's a few plants doing odd things this year, tomatoes are going v shaped when they shouldn't.

 

A stray sunflower seed from my bird feeder has germinated. It's only small with one flower...looks good though.

 

This one started its life in a hanging basket god knows were the seed come from

Often if you cut off the main head, a sunflower will produce multiple flowers.
I dont think its that unusual to get a few smaller ones as well.

 

Same packet of seed, planted 10 sunflowers, 8 were just one head and 2 were multi headed all plants are 10 to 14 feet high

Some varieties of sunflower have been bred to produce multiple flower heads and I find the range of colours and patterns a continuing surprise.

Had my first experience of a multi head last year (tickled me funny bone!)

This year, one of my plants was exceptionally generous in flower heads!

Now, I did buy a sunflower plant which is designed to produce multiple flower heads, but, the one's I'm referring to were described as being a solo flower head.

Enjoy, save the seeds and ... enjoy them again next year
