One Tall Sunflower

Gavin planted the seed for this sunflower in March after the nasty winter freezes were over. I give him flower seeds and he randomly plants them wherever he feels like it.
This one tall sunflower is in the small bed by my garage and is well over 5′ tall now. Gavin didn’t believe it was taller than him, so he had to stand next to it to be sure. Because it’s in the front yard, the squirrels haven’t found it otherwise all the flowers would be chewed off by now.
It was leaning over so badly that I wound up having to stake it. Flowers are popping out of all the leaf junctions. How pretty is that?
