Absolutely gorgeous! It always amazes me how quickly and easily sunflowers germinate. When we had a wooden bird table I would always have to pick the seedlings out which had germinated in tiny cracks.

i have that little clump there, plus a couple stragglers a few feet away. I don't know how the seeds avoided getting eaten to begin with. Between the birds and the squirrels everything usually gets picked pretty clean. Only thing I can think of is that patch is next to a stump we're trying to get rid of, maybe some seeds got covered with fresh dirt when we were digging the roots out. There's a good chance the feeder got bumped a time or two with the shovel before I moved it further out.
That brings back memories. We grew sunflowers when we were kids and they were always twice as tall as we were.
Beautiful pics!
