Beautiful big strong flowers although I like to compare them with butterflies because the plant leaves are not that handsome... The downside? once the flowers blossom it takes only 2 weeks for them to fade and never blossom again, in that sense you get stuck with an ugly stick and not so pretty plant leaves. Another negative?, they take more than 2 months to start flowering, once they do you get 2 weeks of nice flowers, then they turn brown(dying). You see the most part part of their lives are like caterpillars, at the very end is just glorious. The flower at the top of the plant is the biggest one, the one flowering first and the first to die, once that happens you know the rest will follow, that's the sunflower life.
