and

there are more 

totalling 2015 seeds,

safely kept in plastic bags in a cool place.

From one plant, it ended up with 35 seeds and now 2015 seeds. The seeds vary so much, from real black colour to white stripes.. How interesting, coming a single plant last year....

first generation ~ 1 seed (July 2009)
second generation ~ 35 seeds (October 2009)
third generation ~ 2015 seeds. (June 2010)

Kaklong 

my eldest sister had taken 100 seeds to her place. 
The place she is living is at the north of Perak, with cooler temperature due to mountains 
and virgin forest nearby. That will somehow recreate the original land of sunflower 
which is America. 

Our neighbour Noor 

has shown real interest  in sunflowers, 
and  Kakdah had  given away some to her.

Kakdah 

had germinated some of the seeds 
with some lavishness since there are thousands available, 
and a few are placed in a pot and the rest on vegetable bed. 

huh, what i am going to do with so many  seeds?
