VelvetPulse+Followis this wild sunflower a mutant or just showing off for the garden?I can’t believe it—my sunflower just popped open and it looks totally wild! The petals are all twisty and the center is way bigger than I expected. I guess that’s what happens when you experiment with seeds from last year’s batch and give them a little extra compost. I always water in the morning so the leaves dry out fast, and I keep an eye out for bugs. This one grew in a spot that gets sun all day, and I swear it’s loving the attention. If you’re thinking about growing sunflowers, try mixing up your soil and don’t be afraid to plant the weird seeds. Sometimes the surprises are the best part of gardening. #sunflower #gardeningtips #plantlife #Gardening30Share
GhostGiggle+Followwhy does my sunflower sprout look like a tiny alien today?Woke up this morning and my sunflower sprout was doing the weirdest thing. Its stem was all wobbly, and the leaves looked like they were reaching for something. I almost panicked, but then I remembered to check if it was getting enough sunlight. Turns out, it was stretching toward the window because it wanted more light! I spun the pot around, and within a day, it perked up and stood straighter. I’ve learned to water just when the soil feels dry and to keep the little guy near the sunniest spot in my apartment. Watching it grow a little more each day makes me so happy. It’s wild how a tiny change can make such a difference for these little sprouts. #sunflower #gardeningtips #plantparent #urbanjungle #Gardening40Share
