Is it a Winner ??

This is ( so far) the most successful flower in my family's traditional tallest sunflower competition. ( a long running tradition that started in 2014)

There is one other contender which is trapped in a greenhouse ( which may anyway be a contravention of a rule I have not invented yet).

There have been many accusations of cheating and sabotage, deliberate importing of sunflower loving slugs and similar tactics.

The prize is not even announced yet, let alone the final winner !
