ok my sunflower just had this bee 'treatment' and the entire head is puffy -- and the head is hanging low and heavy now because it's so heavy -- is there anything I should do??

[wildbell]

@jordiekjo I think the head droop is just a natural part of a sunflower's progression. I've sometimes staked up sunflowers whose entire stalks lean, but I don't think there's much you can do about a droopy head.

I watched this video to see the sun flower track the sun but in relationship to the house and surroundings I do not think this video displays that tracking .. but nice bug action...

[wildbell]

Yeah, that was something I was hoping for too, but for reasons unknown to me,none of this patch of sunflowers tracked the sun

@wildbell From what I understand, sunflowers only track the sun during the bud stage, but once they open fully, they stay put. Mine are the same way. I have Evening Sun.

Thanks @5277407. Indeed, the about-to-bloom buds I have growing right now have been turning with the sun.

Looks like the same bees working the same flower over all day long.
