Mouldy Sunflowers

So much for putting away the sunflower seeds for stock.

Dad put the dry flowerheads in a plastic bag to store away in the shed... only to find them not entirely dry yet and covered in white smelly fluff! We decided to rescue the largest flowerhead and not worry about the smaller ones. They got washed, drained, and are currently layed out on the newspapers on the concrete.

I wonder how viable these seeds are as some of them had nothing in them at all.

It'll be my kind of irony to have seeds that went to the birds still viable, as they had plenty of time to dry out properly...
