They are also called Dwarf sunflowers and that is why I always thought they are small garden plants, until I saw them on the fields. These dwarf sunflowers were somewhat shorter than the usual sunflowers but still taller than me.
I was amazed how little care they need, growing by themselves on the fields (and making a huge profit for the vendors).
Yeah, yeah, that was a mean remark but it's true.Teddy bear sunflower is a real eye-catcher in the border and its long lasting flowers are even more impressive in a vase.
In the same time they are popular vegetables with their tasty and nourishing seeds.

I would like to touch them - they look like yellow & orange powder puffs.
They look like fluffy balls.
They are so unusual and lovely. I have never seen Teddy Bear sunflowers.
Easy to grow is my kind of plant.
I want some Teddy Bears in my garden. I'm going to check the seed catalogue to see if they are available in Canada.
It looks like a big powder puff! I've seen them in my country.
Fabulous sunflowers! Since sunflowers grow here in this area (grown commercially for seed by some farmers), I wonder if these would also grow? I'm going to do some research, if only to find some seeds I could plant myself! Beautiful photos!
First time I saw them and they look better than the big ones. And I love to munch on those healthy seeds!
Pretty flowers!
My share for the Macro Flowers Saturday meme is now posted.

I love all your sunflower photos, Maia. This teddy bear variety is my favourite.
