Sun Flowers
 
Hello

I am new to this group and I am wandering if anyone can tell me why my
sunflower has about six flower heads growing from the stem? Is this
normal? I have never seen this before.

Thanking you in advance for your kind co-operation.

On a regular Sun Flower, Neither have I! need to get a picture of that! That, in my memory, is
indeed unusual. What have you been feeding it and have you pinched a bud out?
I do have a plant/shrub from Africa called African Sun (Daisy Shrub or Euryops Chrysanthemoides
(spelling?)) that has many ,many tiny sunny blooms, but not a regular sunflower.

I'm in Leander in recently converted fields (to neighborhoods, that is) and
we have sunflowers everywhere about chest or chin high with several flower
stalks radiating out from the main stem. 6 or 12 flowers or whatever per
plant - one main stem per plant.

I doubt it - there's barely any dirt over the rock out here.

Plus I would never call them spectacular! They are way prettier than a field
of weeds - don't get me wrong! But scraggly as the dickens! Scratchy, too,
if you walk through a field of them.

form huge clumps and are really spectacular. . . .
