I grow a native sunflower - native to Texas......It doesn't have a huge center and the seeds are small. There's a specific type of bee that I only see on this plant. I've seen birds pluck seeds out of flowerheads and I've seen a squirrel run off with a flower head that I had cut off!! It's great to have them in my garden! Here's a pic from last yr cuz mine haven't started blooming yet!! Also, look for the bee in the center of the flowerhead!!

very cool!

we have a squirrel who plays in the corner of our yard that i planted with sunflowers, he's in for the best surprise of his life when he sees the sunflowers growing again. he had a great time on them last year.

i would always wake up and wonder what the hell was all the noise i heard, it was the squirrel feverishly picking sunflower seeds early in the morning.

Mine have been above the soil for about a week now. I've got them staggered along the back fence for sole privacy from the neighbors. I'm growing mammoths and another shorter more colorful variety I can't remember the name of. Got a bunch I started indoors to plant yet. Having trouble uploading pics right now ill try and get them up later.

Sun flowers?!?! LMFAO
For mee?!?!
