No Belgian sunflowers pics???

Early this year I sent out sunflowers seeds to at least 12 locations, mostly in the USA. As NO pics have been shown here, I am wondering what happened :confused: Did my seeds "produce" a plant and flowers? Or did nothing happen? Or, did you forget to plant them ( ;) )
I'd love to know!So if you have pics, please post them here :)

We only have 4 plants this year, because all the rest was eaten by a herd of snails....(they also ate all dahlia's :( )

These pics are from last year

Well, we had an awful summer. A long, cold, rainy spring didn't help. We got one gorgeous Belgian sunflower before it started raining and snowing. I'm attaching a photo taken Thursday (between rain showers). http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...ptember022.jpg

They look great! I would have taken some seeds but my little gardening buddies would have wrecked the poor things :rolleyes:

Mine should bloom soon and I'll have pictures then. Seems like the season started late this year (and of course I didn't plant them until late, the procrastinator that I am).

M&I's mommy -if you are gonna have more seeds to be sent out I would gladly take some, my 12-year-old son loves planting things. He even have a garden last year with vegetables that he grew all on his own.

All the flowers are beautiful!! :D

I still have your seeds tuck away in a very safe place! We're working on the planters in the yard right now, and I wanted to wait until everything is finished before I plan these beautiful plants.

I cannot wait, though. I LOVE sunflowersss!!!!!

Hey Lut,

Do you think they would fair well as indoor plants rather then outdoor? I can plant them inside a pot

Lut, I finally have some pics for you. These flowers are beautiful but are pretty small. I will plant some more today. Thanks again for sending them. Your Belgian sunflowers blooming in Florida:

Hey Lut,

Do you think they will be ok in a pot? I am able to plant them after Cadience is born inside if you think they will be ok.

Mine are in a pot. I used a pot because it was easier to tend to after the knee surgery. They seem to be a little smaller but beautiful. I just planted some more in a pot. These are the first sunflowers I've had any luck with. I just couldn't seem to grow them before now. Good luck with the pot if you use it! :)

Awwwww thank you SO much for these new pics!! That giant flower is absolutely gorgeous!!

Many ask if they can grow sunflowers in a pot. We've never done that before, but why not??! Be sure to water the plant regularly, don't ever forget this :)
