GMO?

A farmer told me that genetically modified sunflowers had been grown

as a field trial. At the end of the trial, all the test material

should have been removed or rendered inert.

 

However, many fields of sunflowers for miles around this specimen

contained multiple headed plants, so possibly, these were not sterile

and may have polinated the wild type plants. To have allowed this to

hapen seems to be lazy or poor science.

 

Anyone read "Day of the Triffids"?

The only thing this needs to become a seven is to be cropped so we don't see the dandelions.

You sure this is a straight photo Peter?. I mean, it almost looks as if someone constructed the sunflowers to look like a, well I'm not sure. Either way, it's not natural to have flowers that look as if they could chase after you. Some normal sunflowers grow to about 8 or 9 feet in height. To see something that big looking like this would scare the C**P out of most people. Oh, and nicely focused with good use of DoF.

Fantastic Work !!!

Hello Steve, this was as you see it! However this was only about 3-4 ft high. Some of the specimins growing in the crops were a good foot higher than the other plants.

superb...

I have never seen a sunflower bush like this. I have seen multi-headed sunflowers several times in my region. 3-5 heads are not rare, but this is extreme. Thank you for showing it to me.

Now that's good, fascinating subject well observed. I like the backlighting on a dark background... so many sunflower portraits are against a blue sky

Cheers Ian

Very simple and pretty. Maybe a tiny crop on top.
