Thank you all for helping me. Diana_K: I had wondered why growers would want pollen-less sunflowers. It made little sense to me, but now I know. I did not know that the one flower per stalk were not the 'original' variety. Think I will plant both types now. I feed lots of black oil sunflower seeds to the birds so perhaps the birds would enjoy harvesting their own seeds straight from the source.
WeeNel: I've always admired the UK's hedgerow programs. Such wise ways to share the land with it's original inhabitants! Wish I could grow bulbs but far too many burrowing beasts so bulbs never make it. I will be fencing off some sunflower patches to ensure the deer don't devour them again. Deer don't share well.
MiniLakeStevens: Purchased hundreds of $ of wildflower seeds from Eden Brothers with good results but am always looking for other reliable sources. Most of the bulk seeds I get are annuals. I plan on introducing some mini/micro clovers into the grassy areas that are more difficult to groom thus limiting the weeds and producing earlier clover blossoms for my Mason bees. Found Brendak854 pictures…wow! Will be studying her techniques too. And I am planting your suggested Lemon Queen around my potting shed, affectionally known as The Dirty Hoe.
1Lisac: Will be checking out your outlet suggestion soon. Thank you all for taking the time to help educate me.
