My son and a GIANT sunflower

Blue70 · Jun 22, 2008

I took this one of my son outside my mothers garden last summer while visiting on vacation..

I like this one because it looks like the one giant flower is bending down and looking at him :blushing:

man, how did they get that big??? that's huge!!!

Wow that is cute. You need to take one like this every year. You may be able to make the photo more interesting if you took it closer to the ground. It would be a neat perspective.

Good shot, but seems to have some dead air. Also thought a punch in the colors might be a help. Have a look here.

Great idea and very cute pic

It does! It looks almost like the sunflower is saying, "Can I help you?" or "Hello," or something?

Fun capture. The tallest sunflowers I've seen were still smaller than this. Do you live near radioactive soil or something?

Lol, I'm not sure what she feeds them, but they are HUGE!

Makes me want to plant some and try it though, lol

since those things are freakishly huge, it makes me want to ask this...

were those things photoshopped?!? they actually get that big?!
?

Blue70 · Jun 25, 2008

Nope, not photoshopped..
I would guess they are close to 10'-12' tall or so in that photo.
That is FAR from the record..

What is the height of the tallest sunflower?
A sunflower grown in the Netherlands holds the record for being the tallest sunflower in the world. It measured 25 feet, 5.4 inches. (Source: 2004 Guinness World Records)
