Anti-Sun flowers?
Hi,
I though sunflowers were supposed to turn their faces to follow the sun. Our nosy buggers keep staring in through the sunlounge window. Could they just be shy? Cheers Dave R -- |

Cheers Dave R -- Ours used to follow the sun around all day, facing east in the morning, and west in the evening, but then suddenly it just stopped, now only points to the east, which just happens to be facing away from us, and towards next door :-( |

The message
from "David W.E. Roberts" contains these words: Hi, I though sunflowers were supposed to turn their faces to follow the sun. Our nosy buggers keep staring in through the sunlounge window. Could they just be shy? Surely if they were shy, they wouldn't be making eye contact? They'd have their backs to the windows, facing away from you. In dogs, staring is a sign of aggression/imminent attack. Be very careful around those sunflowers. Janet |

My sunflowers are still waiting to come out - or flopping precariously after the strong winds a few days ago (St. Helens, Lancashire) Bevan |

Aluminium is widespread in soils, especially clays, and makes good mirrors. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
