Nice pictures! How I wish we had the native sunflower that grew naturally in GA, like it does in TX. Those are beautiful. I tried, unsuccessfully, to introduce them to some of my land several years ago. I ordered the seed from Turner Seed Co. in TX, after speaking with Jay Mercer there about them. He told me I had a tough row to hoe to get them to grow here and he was right. Planting them was a bust. I only got a few plants up on several acres. It seems they do not do well in sandy soil types.
Good luck to all of you who will be trying to run down some of those little grey rockets Saturday afternoon.
