Dwarf sturdy plants are upright, growing about 3 feet tall. Teddy Bear is nice for cutting but equally nice for a colourful garden border. The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant native to the Americas in the family Asteraceae, with a large flowering head (inflorescence). The stem of the flower can grow as high as 3 metres tall, with the flower head reaching up to 30 cm in diameter with the "large" seeds. The City and County of San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the fourteenth-most populous in the United States. San Francisco is a popular international tourist destination renowned for its steep rolling hills, an eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture, its large LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) population, and its chilly summer fog and mild winters. Famous landmarks include Union Square, Pacific Heights, Russian Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach and Chinatown..(Photo by Marc Piscotty © 2007)
