Sunflower

I planted these just for kicks... I didn't follow the instructions at all and I don't really expect them to flower... but I hope they do.

The package said it should be planted on April/May. Technically it is still May, but I'm not sure it really counts.

Anyway, I just planted one seed on each of the two halves of a bottle. The package said they needed 50 cm diameter. The bottle might be 10, being really optimistic. But maybe they'll still grow and just turn out mini sunflowers?

Germination is supposed to take 10 to 15 days. I'll report if anything happens.

Oh! By the way, did you know cut sunflowers last particularly well if the stems are dipped into boiling water for a short moment?
