You have no sunflowers blooming? Our yellows are gone already..... it has been very dry here this week, our grass is not ice and green anymore, it's all yellow on most sunnier places. about 30 C today in shade.

I love that one !
First time I see this cultivar.
Yes, it would be good to know if the seeds will have any true to the original flower !
I do love sunflowers.
