This is my one and only sunflower....I meant to actually plant some this year and just did not get to it.
We always called anything that came from a random seed dropped by birds, etc a volunteer.

Rose, I think this is the pretties sunflower photo I've ever seen, really.
They're such an unusual flower....and beautiful.
~Sheri
OH, this is STUNNING!!! This one is worth dozens of others.
Rose, This photo is gorgeous!
I love sunflowers. I planted once but the flowers were not big like yours. Happy weekend.
For some reason it means more to me that it's a volunteer and all by itself. :)
It looks beautiful!! I always marvel at the heart of a sunflower !!
It looks just lovely !
Devi :)))
And a welcome one!

Whose heart doesn't swell at the sight of a sunflower's smile? YAM xx
It's pretty. I love sunflowers. When my husband was filling bird feeders, I always had these growing underneath them courtesty of the birds. They were small ones but they were pretty.
That is ONE of the prettiest volunteers I've ever seen. The photo really doesn't show the size, but it looks big.
Hello,
Pretty sunflower. I would like just one volunteer.. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
"Volunteer" seems to be an American expression, though it is catching on here too. We always used to call them "self-sets", though I don't think I've ever had a sunflower appear by that means.
Yes, we call them volunteers also. I love sunflowers. they always make me feel happy.
Beautiful! I do love volunteer flowers. I too meant to plant sunflowers and by the time I thought of it, it was too late :(
Which one of these would volunteer to grow in our yard I've never had a sunflower growing and I sure would love to have one because I love daisies and sunflowers those are my favorite flowers
So pretty and such happy flowers.
I would be happy if one of mine survive. Planted so many of them and the chipmunks dug them up. I saw a bird pecking at the little seedlings to though. Sunflowers here are still small and won't be blooming for quite a while yet.
We always have several volunteer Sunflowers and then we planted more so next year we wont plant.

Now I'm reminded of my mom! Thank you so much dearest Rose. This is my mom's favorite flower! And whenever I see one even through pictures or paintings, it reminds me that mom is with me :) Happy Weekend!
A lovely picture, so pretty!💖
Volunteer seems to be an international thing. They are called that here as well.
Very nice shot.
It is such a wonderful surprise to have one pop up out of nowhere! I hope that you enjoy it! The color is gorgeous. A lovely image!
It is always wonderful to have something come up that you don't expect! A beautiful sunflower. I love the bright yellow!
A fine close up of this great looking sunfxlower. To have one it's a very good one.
A volunteer...I like that. I had one volunteer but it would not stand up straight so didn't get a good photo.
this one has an elongated center - very unusual. my definition of volunteer agrees with yours
