While I was spraying my mammoth sunflower plants I discovered one was different than the other. The difference was that one plant instead of having ONE massive head it has about 10!!! I cant load a pic of it on the computer, but I assure you its incredible. I need to know if anyone knows anything about this. Has anyone ever had a plant do this?! I also grow giant pumpkins, but thats not my topic of the day. :)

World record for the most heads on an individual sunflower plant is 837. The record was set by Melvin Hemker of Michigan around 2001
