Horticultural note

One of the pleasures of growing sunflowers is that they grow like weeds but are not weeds.1 They get big. They’re plants I can see eye-to-eye with.

Tithonia also gets big, though the three-inch flowers are much smaller than the seven-inch Helianthus above. The bushy plants should soon break six feet.
