Well finally nearly 24 hours later the pics I was waiting for came.. OY! Whaaat is with that..
Anyways.. here they are in their wilted glory. so sad....
And still waiting for rain

There you go terri.. heres yours. I have been watering these special via the garden hose since they are not in the big plot! Geeks cleomes are gaurding them
Thanks for the compliments Blossom and Candee! The daturas make me think of meringue with with their soft peaks.
Oh! By the way! I had an idea for next years Sunflower Contest! It is: Who can grow the most exotic looking sunny?!?
Ooo mine are looking fine Blossom, Thanks for watering!
Way hay! Steven, thinking ahead already.. like it! exotic looking, like the red velvet variety?

Oh yeah meringue that is exactly the connection they make.
snickers!!!
Hmmm exoctic? just were does one get an exoctic??
Aaaaaah! Exoctic...?

I got the exotic idea from the nice colours on Plantgeek sunny. Red Velvet would be a good one to try, or theres one called Green Jade or something like that.....and theres also the Italian White too!
Blossom your exotic sunnys look really good! It's just too bad they're FAKE!
Good call Steven, I almost didn't notice!
Mine are still growing but not a single sign of a head on them yet. Will take a pic and post when we get back from the beach.
My sunny is looking fantastic Blossom, Thanks! WHAT???? !!! those sunny's are fakes?/? fell for that one hook line and sinker ... lol
I almost forgot! Here's my sunny! He's grown quite a bit!
It's coming on well Sterven!

Sunny green face...um..exoctic????
Oh, and BTW, if my exoctics dont count for next year Steven, your daturas dont count for sunnies... as purdeeeee as they may be!!
chuckles!!
You have quite a garden of sunnies BB. Believe it or not mine are just beginning to get heads on them? Guess all of my flowers are a bit behind in bloom time.
Nah, its just a patch rough scratched out in the prairie. I was sooo hoping to get lots of LARGE heads but that did nothappen. They ranged from anything under about 8 inches to a couple inches.
Here is one I grew for terri.. it has multiple heads even! LOL!
Cant wait to see yours though! I love them.. The aroma is great too!
