The Sunflower Club

Welcome! This site is experimental - is still in the process of being put together - the links at the top aren’t set up yet - but the blog links below work.

If you are interested in joining the Sunflower Club, please feel free to visit this link to sign up for “A Sunflower Club” on Facebook:

If you are not on Facebook, maybe now is the time to try! Go to http://www.facebook.com, sign up for an account, and once you’re registered, try searching for “A Sunflower Club”. (If you have any questions feel free to email me: tekelsey “at” gmail “dot” com)

If you’d prefer not to sign up for Facebook, you can just sign up for the Google group, so that you’re “registered” as a member, and we’ll put some of the information there. To sign up for the Club Sunflower Google Group, visit: http://groups.google.com/group/clubsunflower — on that page - you can click the link to “apply for membership” and it may ask you to sign up for a free Google account if you don’t have one already. Or if you like, you can just email me at tekelsey “at” gmail “dotcom” and I can automatically put you on the list.

The basic idea of the sunflower club is to give free seeds away to anyone who’d like some, to help anyone who is interested to learn about the environment and have a bit of fun. You can take pictures, measure the sunflowers, blog if you like, or not — and then when you’ve grown your own sunflowers, you can share the seeds with others. The other general adventure is to have a family tree of sunflowers, so you can trace back the ancestors of your own sunflowers through the person who gave you seeds, all the way back to Grond, Morpheus and the other 1st Generation sunflowers featured in the original blog: http://sunflowerreport.blogspot.com

Seeds are freely available to grow monster sunflowers, and people who want to start their own generations with their own seeds are also welcome. You can do it in your backyard — and if you live in the city, there’s ways of doing urban sunflowers too.

Here’s a few links to some of the experimental blogs from members of the sunflower club:

Todd: http://todd.sunflowerclub.net/ - This is my blog. Don’t have any pictures up yet!

Walter: http://walter.sunflowerclub.net/ - Walter is the Boston “regional distribution center” — har har. He ended up with a bunch of seedlings and has been giving them away.

Euro: http://euro.sunflowerclub.net - Some nice pictures from the mediterranean.

Enjoy!
