We got one and it was a very tall variety or maybe I remember like that because I was very short yet. It has such a beautiful flower. There are a few fields planted with sunflowers here in North Dakota and it's so much fun to see when all the flowers are open and vibrant. Glad that you and your husband are both enjoying your sunflowers!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795340509123902948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-62561008307795094452016-09-11T17:17:43.940-07:002016-09-11T17:17:43.940-07:00We do smile at them.
