Default Sunflower, new variety?

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


Seems that it's not so special. Alas. Here are the
pictures, compressed them a bit more but still rather
large to download:
