Whew sorry about all that. I have a scanner now and was trying to figure it out LOL. Well these grew to about 12-15 ft tall.
Gosh I just love this picture! the sky is so blue, the leaves so green and the petals so orange.
Thats the california sky for you! :) Never a cloud all summer long where I am at.
Southern Ca? I am in the north!
Not southern CA, Central CA. I live near Sacramento.

Much! 100+ degrees for weeks on end sometimes. I wilt in the summer here, but hey, the sunflowers and corn love it.
