Sunflower

I used to have  big sun flowers in the front of my house and the yellow birds love them.  I dunno what haoppen but one year,  nothing came back anymore so I did not bother planting again.  This year, I got one which I did not plant.  I guess a burd drop a seed in my garden and  it grew.  It's not the typical  sunflower that I used to grow (mammoth kind) but I was glad I got one as it might be a start again for many more next year.  

I thought it will only have one  flower but I was surprise that there are multiple small flowers that grew agter the  big one.

 I read something about it onlune that it might be cause by a larvae infestation that's why instead of getting a big one, you get multiple small flowers.  I guess they are right with the infestation because  something is earing the petalsd of the sunflower.

 I tookk these shots when it opens up a couple of days.

I will save some seeds if the  buirds t does not eat them all.
