My first attempt at growing sunflowers...
Only one sprouted out of nine seeds. I transplanted it to the garden bed, where it kept growing....

...and GROWING!!
Finally its head started to bloom, revealing hundreds of tiny yellow petals. Which grew into bigger petals...
...until it had a full flowering head!
Then the drooping started. We had to tie the stem to a stake to help its head be supported. Not sure whether this is normal for sunflowers grown in the Top End, or whether it's approaching the end of the Dry. But I'd consider growing sunflowers again.
