In honour of @Bigboye57@lemmy.world mentioning his open pollinated zinnias I wanted to share this absolute unit.

I think it’s a Tripleurospermum inodorum and am kind of bummed it’s not camomile (I had some in that vicinity a few years back) but it’s such a fun plant. Yes, it’s one plant. Check out the stems:

And enjoy some nice shots of the flowers that hide the Eldridge horror that hold them up:

    Nice, I love the freaks in nature. I am trying to get a stable line of giant sunflowers that flower at every node. Here is my front runner this year who I will collect seed from.

      I love it! It’s so hit and miss with sunflowers for us. They never end up where we plant them, even if we’re just broadcasting them lol.

      The worst is when you get a really big guy and then come out in the morning and his head has been chomped to bits 😭
