This enormous sunflower has been nicknamed the ‘Eiffel Flower’ after growing to a whopping 23ft - and is on course to break a world record.
這株太陽花被親切的成為“埃菲爾之花”，其株高竟然達到了“登峰造極”的23英尺（約合7米），從而成為了有望打破世界紀錄的“種子選手”。
The huge plant has grown from a humble seed planted in the garden of the home of Eve Fielding, in Margate, Kent.
這株巨大的植物是由一粒不起眼的種子的發(fā)芽茁壯成長而成的，它被種植于位于肯特郡馬蓋特的Eve Fielding一家的花園之中。
Eve, 48, had sown a handful of seeds as part of a light-hearted competition with her four-year-old granddaughter, and planted this one as a spare.
為了于四歲的孫女“比賽種花”——這個溫馨的有緣，48歲的Eve在花園中灑下了不少種子，結(jié)果卻“無心插柳柳成蔭”的長出了這一株龐然大物。
She watered it every day but didn't give it any special attention and says she expected it to grow to around 12ft, just like the dozens of other flowers she's planted over the years.
盡管她會每天為向日葵澆水，但卻并沒有特別精心的培育，Eve說她原僅僅指望花能夠長到差不多12英寸（約合3.7米）的樣子，這與其她在今年種下的花卉應(yīng)該別不兩樣。
But to her amazement it soon shot past the height of her other blooms - and shows no sign of stopping.
但是不久之后，Eve卻被向日葵的迅猛漲勢而感到驚訝，并且這株植物似乎還沒有停止生長的趨勢。
It now towers well above the mother-of-two, who is 5ft 2in, and could even break the world record of 26ft 4in.
現(xiàn)在，這株植物的高度已經(jīng)遠遠的超過了這位兩個孩子的母親。她的身高為5英尺2英寸（1.6米），向日葵將有可能打破目前的最高紀錄——26英尺4英寸（約合8.1米）。
