We thought we may have had a gold medal winner with this one. Turns out we don’t. A sunflower grown in the Netherlands holds the record for being the tallest sunflower in the world. It measured 25 feet, 5.4 inches. Okay, that makes Ashlyn’s flower seem like a midget. But, before we knew that fact (what did we do without the internet?), her flower looked enormous. It seemed like it was growing right before our eyes. Ashlyn has been very proud of her plant, having grown it from a seed in a little dixie cup from Grammy. All the crazy green around the bottom includes Evan’s pumpkin plant and Drew’s watermelon plant (and a whole bunch of weeds–I’m just not so into gardening in this season of life).
So cute! I’ve never seen one that tall – so that’s something. Perhaps this is the tallest one ever grown by a little girl! Love the pic of Ashlyn on daddy’s shoulders…that’s a keeper!
