big surprise

back from a lovely (long) holiday. not really into the blogging mood right now. would love to keep the holiday mode as long as I can, and computers and blogs don't belong there.
but when we came home and we took a glimpse in the garden (which always looks like a rain forest after 4 weeks 'let it grow') we had the big suprise. the sunflower took her chance and made some meters while we were out. is this typically Dutch to have such tall sunflowers?
