The Hancock's in Somerset narrowly missed out on first prize - coming in at 229cm!

We were sure the equitorial conditions would bring in a first for Kampala but not this year! Nulu and Peter (above) with their tallest sunflower which gained them 3rd place.

And last but by no means least, Jon Mathews and family in Kent with this beauty at 216cm - 4th tallest in the challenge.
