Our readers all across Northamptonshire have been sending in pictures of their sunflowers they have been growing throughout the summer.
Earlier this week, a woman from Kettering sent in a picture of her 'Black Magic' sunflower, which she grew from a seed into a sunflower that is nearly eight foot tall.
Sharing this image on our Facebook page prompted a huge response with readers all over the county sending in proud pictures of their own sunflowers - some as tall as 11 foot!
