Nancy decided that she could do a better job of splinting number one using some rather fetching and appropriately green-coloured ribbon, to replace my Heath Robinson lash-up involving part of an old cereal box (left). The results (right) were a distinct improvement, and number one now has (we believe) sufficient support to prevent the head from completely snapping off.

Despite the desperate look about him, number one is a hardly fellow - as you can see by the fact that despite the damage his head is still craning upwards towards the sun. Down, but not out!

And amongst all the excitement number three has also flowered now. Hooray! You can see him as the left-most sunflower in the middle picture.
