if temperature is above 12 degrees C the bees still go out and are happy
to find some pollen, otherwise the only one comes from blooming
hedera helix which also is last food for wasps
may be the flower is topinambur - helianthus tuberosus - but we should
see your picture - you only have to keep dry the seed
to become a millionnaire you have to derive the gene sequence and
apply for a patent, nothing for average people like us

Hi, thought it might be interesting that I have
a strange sunflower in by garden.
Nice to see that there are still bees at this time of
year.
I planted 5 seeds, 4 of them developed normal, but the
fifth does not only have a flower on top, but also at
every branch, originating from the pit between the
branch for the leave and the main branch.
Also, I intend to harvest the seeds from this particular
'defective' sunflower, how do I do that the best way?
Last question, will I become a millionaire, with this
new variety?
If interested, I can provide some pictures.
