Sunflowers in Summer August 16th

Here are the gigantic sunflowers. The tallest one is about 10ft tall! I've never seen sunflowers this tall before. It must be from all the rain...They are taking there time in showing their petals. Everyones' sunflowers are showing their petals already except for mine. My Mom says all my sunflowers must be males because they don't have petals. I hope that's not true. Maybe they are just waiting until the last minute to show their petals. Anyways, you can see at least one is showing some.
The Goldfinches certainly are staking out the seeds. I seen one daintily perching on top of the sunflower today. It was cute.
Speaking of sightings I'd like to make a *note: seen a Wilson Warbler today in the thickets.
