Sonja Branching Sunflower
Today starts the Sunflower Series of 2018 where I share with you the four sunflower varieties that I grew in my garden this year.
This first variety I call "sickly" because it was attacked by everything possible. The rabbits ate the small tender shoots just after they germinated (this was before we put up the fence), then it developed blight, also many different bugs enjoyed dining on this variety. Finally the birds just devoured these flowers. The pictures below show these unfortunate attacks.
What I did like about this variety was the lush green back as seen in the first picture below.
ENJOY the following pictures!
All photos were taken by me (Angie Ouellette-Tower) and the sunflowers were all grown in my garden.

You will notice that the birds cut flower heads in half or chopped the entire stalk in two!
(see next two picture below)
Quite the worm dangling from the inside of the flower below.
