The intricacies of the sunflower

We got a packet of sunflower seeds as a gift back in April, so decided to plant a few in the garden. They're fascinating, and so appropriately named; sunflower, girasol, tournesol, as they turn their little faces to the sun as it moves in the sky.

That's fabulous and planting them in the garden is good I understand. Sometimes at school, we start them off in pots but not recommended recently!

Like little fingers joining together.
