10. I had a neighbor in Jersey complain bitterly . . .

Because of THREE sunflowers in my backyard. The flowers came from a school assignment my youngest had--to grow the sunflowers and note the stages of development. They took off like crazy and grew huge healthy leaves and heads.

Pretty. I love the color yellow and my son was thrilled with the success. He was seven or eight at the time.

My neighbor hated them. She lived about eight houses away and said they were causing her family allergy fits. Meanwhile her teenage son babysitted for us and showed no signs of distress. She just hate, hated them and was infuriated when I didn't chop them down.

Can't please everyone.

Now a whole lawn filled with sunflowers? Depends on how the homeowner care-takes his crop. All I know is that fields of sunflowers are beautiful and inspiring to my eye.
