Survival of the fittest.
Natural Selection produces the perfect Sunflower.
Culling the imperfect.
Like this one.
When seedlings first appear I keep those with darker stems. They usually produce darker colors. That is true with most flowers.
This one looks very promising...you can tell by the outer leaves.
Same Sunflower as above only a day later, this morning.
The verdict is still out. It's a Tarahumara, my favorite but the petals will have to straighten out. The plant itself is sturdy and strong and has many side shoots. All good signs. It may be a Keeper.

When this Sunflower first opens it has a green center. An offspring from a cultivated Tarahumara Sunflower.
This sunflower is ageing nicely. I will have to save it before the birds beat me to it.
Only the best are invited into the house.
Have a great remainder of the week my dear
