Hi could anyone advise me if giant sunflowers need pruning? I have grown 9 in pots and they are at various heights. They've all got heads now but some of the larger ones have developed new shoots and have additional flowers growing. Should any of the shoots or heads be removed please? Thank you.

Hi, can anyone identify these plants please? I sewed seeds directly into the soil in Spring from a box of mixed seeds bought last year. The box was just called 'yellow mix' and it was a very fine mix which could only be sprinkled.
The plants have appeared in different areas of the garden - even where they were not sown so I think some may have spilled from the box or been blown around during sewing.
Thanks for any help.

I've had this plant in my garden for a few years, but I've got no idea what it is. It has a clump of large leaves which appear in early spring, with separate flower stalks appearing in June/July. The stalks have different shaped leaves to the ones that appear in spring. It flowers until late August and dies back in Winter.
One of the photos is from a spring cutting, which successfully rooted in a small pot, and has just started to flower.

I have a plant that looks like it might be this, but the spikes are always drooped over. Does this happen to anyone else? (Or have I got a different plant?)

I have a new amelanchier tree about 15 ft, it has suffered a little 'root rock' but is now sturdily supported. A few leaves are turning brown and crinkly at the edges and some leaves turning reddish. Otherwise it is very healthy, is this on track, going into the Autumn.
