| I saw a picture of some that a lady had posted of her garden in the US. They have brown as well as the yellow on the flowers.
Do you find those kind of flowers in Australia? |

Hi Winter Rose,
I haven't seen one like that around, but of course that doesn't mean there isn't one.
Hope you find one.

There is a sunflower, I have, called "Evening Sun" and it is multiheaded and ranges in colour from maroon to gold/brown...very pretty
You are welcome to some seeds if interested
Cheers

| Oh, that's right! I grew that for a few years and it was very pretty indeed. Great colour range, and lots of small flower heads. I think I got my seeds from Eden Seeds, but may be mistaken. |

| Thank you both so much. I put in a little order with Eden Seeds, the girls and even my older boys will have alot of fun seeing them grow. They had such fun with their self-sown, table scrap pumpkins last year. I also ordered some winter or acorn squash and some flanders poppies, we used to have those in our first house. I noticed the sunflowers are good, our soil does dry out quickly so they will grow well I think. Looking forward to getting an Eden Seeds catalogue when my order comes. |

We grew sunflowers last year & the kids loved them! We went for size & ours did get huge.
The other thing they loved was the moon & stars melon, it also got really big, 14kg, & it looked so unusual. I only have 2 kids so we had a bit of trouble eating it as it doesn't keep! If you're keen to get the kids gardening I'd recommend you try it.
