A Ukrainian immigrant grew the world’s tallest sunflower in his Indiana backyard as a tribute to his war-torn home country. Alex Babich, 47, achieved the feat of nursing Ukraine’s national flower until it reached a neck-craning 35 feet and 9 inches into the sky, stretching as high as a telephone pole. The flower, nicknamed “Clover,” was confirmed last Wednesday by Guinness World Records as the tallest sunflower ever measured.
