Gigantic, almost eerie

from 10 seedlings are grown to 9 normal rather puny, but a sunflower, location near the compost heap (!) has a height of 5,67m, trunk diameter 12,35cm and flower diameter of no less than 76cm reached. Weighed, the head almost 8kg !!!
Unfortunately, a storm these giants, despite water pipe support, overturned and we (all neighbors) were / are very sad, because whoever gets ever in life as a monster reared.
