DARUVAR, July 16 (Hina) - A sunflower, planted by Mrs. Nera Sekaz in
Daruvar (100 kilometres east of Zagreb), has reached record high
525 centimetres this summer.#L#
Last year, Mrs. Sekaz managed to cultivate a 482.5-centimetre-high
sunflower and in April 2000 she was awarded with the Guinness
exclusive certificate recognising her achievement in planting the
highest sunflower in 1999.
In the mid-April 2000 she planted a new sunflower that has surpassed
all her expectations and overtopped its predecessor by about a half
metre. For many excellent pole vaulters it will be difficult to jump
over the Daruvar 5.25 metre-high sunflower.
As things stand now, the new sunflower of Nera Sekaz is likely to
bring another Guinness certificate for her record.
