On the left is my tuberosus x annuus perennial sunflower
seedling [Jerusalem Artichoke x 'Red Sun' sunflower]. It's been blooming since
late June. See post on July 7th. On the right is its seed parent - Jerusalem Artichoke - still not
even showing any flower buds yet. I was hoping I'd get red petals in the
seedling, but I won't complain about this long season of bloom!
I've also noticed that this year it's making quite a few
fasciated flower heads - another sign of its annuus ancestry. Two are pictured close up below.
