    I fell in love with this photo - they remind me of Van Gogh sunflowers. I grew out the whole packet and not one looked anything like this - they were all just regular looking dark center flowers with symmetrical petals. I wonder if there was a packaging mix up. I'll order again and hopefully get something that looks like the photo.

    Sunflower Seeds (Dwarf) - Yellow Pygmy

    Store owner replied: Hello Rachel. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that your sunflowers didn't resemble the distinctive blooms shown in the product photos. We understand how disappointing that is. Yellow Pygmy is known for its unusual semi-double to double blooms with a more informal, artistic appearance. While some natural variation in flower form can occur with seed-grown sunflowers, the plants should generally display the characteristic look of the variety rather than standard single blooms. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as reports like yours help us continue monitoring product quality. We are glad we had the opportunity to provide a resolution, and we truly appreciate your willingness to give this variety another try. We stand behind our products and hope your next planting produces the unique, blooms that made you fall in love with this sunflower in the first place!
