Bert&Ernie Posted July 16, 2013 Well I just saw the giveaway of some giant sunflowers and thought why not have a competition Rules are pretty much the same as the pumpkin one.... start time is the same and you can use any crazy concoctions that you want. The winner will be the one who has the biggest flower pretty simple hey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogfrog Posted July 18, 2013 What makes a winning sunflower? Height or width of the flower head? Or both? There seems to be a few varieties to choose from. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) My vote is for height and circumference Edited July 18, 2013 by incognito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Presidente Hillbillios Posted July 18, 2013 im no expert on sunflowers, but i think sunflowers are famous for their height. so it should be height 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogfrog Posted July 18, 2013 Hahaha what a diverse collection of answers... May i suggest the winner is the flower with the most petals!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Australia's official record tallest sunflower at 5m Edited July 18, 2013 by waterboy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) ^ Sunflowers AND pumpkins! As for judging the winner, i think it should be in 3 categories.....Overall height of the flower, diameter of the flower head, and since sunflowers are grown for the seed, that should also be a category (if you can be bothered counting the seed) As one of the prizes i can offer a caapi and hemp keyring?!

whitewind Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I'm not so big on the pumpkins but some of those sunflowers are really working for me. I might have to enter this comp, see how tall I can get a sunflower. That's very cool. Be nice to combine a huge height with an enormous flower though... The kids would love something like that!

waterboy 2.0 Posted July 18, 2013 could do weight of seed instead of counting? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert&Ernie Posted July 18, 2013 Okay three categories sounds good. Hight off the plant from ground level to top of flower. Diameter of the flower. And weight off the seeds from one flower. How does that all sound? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd better have some pretty amazing soil to back up all these claims of grandeur Incog, The sunflowers and pumpkins won't grow in your smack-talk alone 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
