Something or someone (hard to believe)–is beheading our sunflowers!
There are–or were–four of them self-seeded in the mint bed at the back outside the kitchen.
They made a pretty picture–yellow on green.
Our bees have been enjoying them too–not so far to fly, more like working from home.
Sharing the bed with mint and sage and a couple of tomato plants–also self-seeded.
Three are GONE–the entire flower face cut off, leaving almost no trace on the ground.
It happened overnight.
One plant is left. Will it survive the night?
Could it be a cow? Can’t be a dog? Is it a werewolf!?
Certainly a Midnight Rambler.
Who or what is the Mystery Muncher of St Martin?
(Meredith S Holmes proposes to put powder on the wall tiles tonight!)
Robin Ellis 
Could it be that Little RASCAL Beau????!!!
Good idea Watson – need to track these pesky sunflower snafflers down.
Am anxiously awaiting the next installment of your mystery!
Squirrels can often bite the whole flower head off & take it… or a very large bird?
Robin, I am almost positive it was Warleggan.
LOL Judy H !!! Warleggan it must be! And here i accuse that little scamp BEAU!
Do you have deer? I wonder if they are tall enough? Will stay tuned…
I had the same problem in the past….the culprit (or culprits) are the deer that wander through the yard!
My guess is perhaps some deer? Don’t think raccoons behead flowers–though they always know EXACTLY when the corn is ripe! (But I wouldn’t put it past one of Warleggan’s cronies!)
No sulphur crested cockatoo flying past. No possums or deer that would nibble on them at night? Where I live in Sydney ,near the Nation park, all 3would be the guilty party more so the cockatoos. Hope you find out what it is.
Hope you find the phantom de- header of your lovely sun flowers. soon.
I wonder what or who it could be??
What region of France do you live in?
A mystery that hopefully will be solved soon.
Nonsense! Neither cow nor deer would eat sunflower heads without leaving incriminating evidence on the ground. These delightful and very mischievous possums would first grab a tomato fruit. (Are there any possums in France?). They love sweet fruit and… cakes. That leaves us a twolegged thoughtless and selfish vandal. I’m so sorry, dear Robin and Meredith, for the invasion of your privacy and the loss of your beloved sunflowers. It’s a great shame…
It must be a large fat worm or caterpillar to devour so much so quickly. Poor little beautfiul Angarad!
