Our first sunflower bloomed last week. I planted them aeons ago but I wasn't sure how long it would take for them to bloom. I imagined late summer so this was a nice surprise, though he is well ahead of his siblings. Because they're from a mix packet of sunflower seeds, it's hard to know what type he is. I thought he was going to be a giant sunflower. His stalk is thick, his leaves are wide, but he hasn't grown very tall, and is more of a stunted giant. Perhaps there is a lack of root space, I have a feeling his section of garden is merely dirt over concrete. No matter, some of his siblings are taller than me and just keep growing.
