Piper-Lily has been growing the sunflower since it was a tiny seed at school. (Image: Crystal Richardson-Williams)Her mum, Crystal Richardson-Williams, 27, said: "She’s watering it, she’s purely dedicated. We’ve had the sunflower quite a while now, I think they take a 100 days or so, so it's been several months now." The sunflower now stands at 11ft, with the head only starting to emerge a few days ago. "Anytime she sees people, she is bragging about her sunflower; she is so proud of herself, bless her."
