surprise sunflowers

I let the sunflowers turn into bird feeders last year, so there were seeds around in the garden that obviously decided to grow. This one is well over two metres tall and totally in the way. The bees love it a tiny bit more than I do and I'm sure the birds will love it this winter too.

The extra photo I've called "nuts about you" - a rather spontaneous shot that I like too much to not show anyone.
