A sunflower in Fort Wayne is reaching for the sky—literally! Alex Babich’s backyard giant just shot past the U.S. record at 26 feet, 8 inches, and it’s still growing, inching closer to the world record set in Germany. What’s even cooler? The city is pitching in with a cherry picker to keep squirrels away, and the whole neighborhood is cheering Alex on. For Alex, who moved here from Ukraine after Chernobyl, this is about more than gardening—it’s about community, pride, and giving back.
