The Sun Always Shines in Cork – Just Ask Sean Histon and His Giant Sunflower 🌻
Sean Histon had a sunny outlook when he declared, “The sun always shines in Cork”—and with good reason. Standing proudly in his garden in Ballinderry Park, Mayfield, the pensioner posed next to a towering sunflower that has captured the attention of his neighbors and brought joy to all who pass by.
Planted in June, the sunflower has grown to an astonishing 11 feet 8 inches, making it the tallest Sean has ever cultivated. While he’s no stranger to growing sunflowers, he admits nothing compares to this latest floral marvel.
In a touching tribute, Sean has named the sunflower Kate, after his granddaughter, saying she is “a ray of sunshine” in his life.
The doting grandfather hopes Kate the sunflower keeps growing and spreading cheer throughout Rebel County, just like his beloved granddaughter does every day.
