 This is great!   Count me in.  My Name is Portland and I saw a large article about planting Sunflowers in the Fri. Chron on the front page and then on p.A11.  This lady is working with all sorts of people to plant thousands of Lemon Queen sunflowers all over the bay area to help the bees which we all know are in big trouble.  She will send out 64,000 packets of seeds this week all over the United States.  So, I thought immediately of Guerrilla Gardeners and how great it would be if we helped her with this project.  Thank you so much for doint all of this for all of us and it helps the bees as well as lots of other stuff.  I know we all think of the butterflies and bees when we plant flowering natives and all that where ever and whenever we can.  It all helps.  If you want to contact her its  415-405-2409 and on the web:  www.greatsunflower.org.  I did buy 5 packets of sunflowers and I will be planting them (one packet per day) all week. 
So, put me down for coming next week.  I will look at the web site and figure out which buses to take to get there.  So great you are doing this.  Portland
