I've been trying to grow sunflowers for a few years now, and they get stolen every year. One year, someone plucked it out of a back-lane garden and took off with it. The next year, my "relatives" destroyed my sunflowers that had just bloomed before I got a chance to pick it or take a pic. It was very important that the just-bloomed sunflowers be hastily removed - much more important than any weeds or dead plants in the yard, haha. Anyway, I'm proud of my 2018 sunflower - I was hoping for a red and yellow one! :)
