I have sunflowers but im confuse what kind of variety it is. Its flower size like my head and the flower sorrounded by small sunflowers like a crown. Just imagine a big sunflower sorrounded by small sunflowers in the tip of petals

I have had the same when I harvested the seeds from the King sunflowers from the season before and planted them. They look mutant !

Maybe an F1 hybrid so they won't grow true in following generations?
