Records(吉尼斯世界纪录)，I came across an item stating that the tallest sunflower (向日葵)ever had been grown by G. E. Hocking, an Englishman．Fired (激发) by a competitive urge，I planted a half acre of sunflower seeds．That half acre is now a magnificent 22，000 square feet of green and gold flora (花). From the elevated rear deck of my apartment，I can look out over the swaying (摇摆的) mass of thick，hairy green stalks (梗，柄) and see each stalk thrusting up (竖起；挺出) through the darker heart shaped leaves below and supporting an ever-bobbing (摇晃) imitation of the sun．In this dwarf (侏儒) forest，some of the flower heads measure almost a foot in diameter (直径). Though almost all my plants are now blooming，none will top the sixteen feet，two inches reached by Hocking’s plant．My tallest is just thirteen feet even，but I don’t think that’s too bad for the first time out．Next year，however，will be another matter. I plan to have automatic watering system to feed my babies
