I started both of these from seed in the greenhouse this year. The Moonflower has been a project for the last few years for me. Each year I've started them from seed but have failed to get flowers either from errors I've made in getting them started and into the right spot to grow or from creatures making a meal of them. In the spring I picked up a ten cent package of seeds marked "Mixed Sunflowers" and after what looked like an unsuccessful start (they were getting way too leggy in the greenhouse) I did get a dozen or so plants in the garden and now they're taller than me. They're are several of the more familiar yellow ones but this one seems to just sparkle.
