Another sunflower that I grew was called Lemon because it was such a pale yellow color. I'm so thankful the Lord gave us all of these beautiful flowers to enjoy!<BR/><BR/>~KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28363093.post-1154955582934177212006-08-07T08:59:00.000-04:002006-08-07T08:59:00.000-04:00Kristi, this is the color the sunflower will stay....Kristi, this is the color the sunflower will stay. I figured since they all got so tall, that the only ones that grew were the big yellow skyscraper ones. Now, I am not sure what is what? =)<BR/><BR/>Tina, we have had lots of hot humid weather and enough rain. That makes a big difference. Part of what you see in the garden picture is our crop of weeds!! =)Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837798938089334872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28363093.post-1154954470366617602006-08-07T08:41:00.000-04:002006-08-07T08:41:00.000-04:00Marci I love the garden!

Do they bloom that color and then turn yellow or this a certain kind? <BR/><BR/>~KristiKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10408986161900668410noreply@blogger.com
