Sunflowers are a very happy flower. That is, when you can see them! But you have to look up… way, WAY up, to see the tallest sunflower in the world!

A "monster bloom" grown in the backyard of an Indiana family beat out the previous Guinness World Record sunflower grown in Germany nearly a decade ago.

"This truly is an incredible story. Guinness World Records just made the record official…!" said Alex Babich, a landscape gardener from Fort Wayne who grew the plant and named it Clover.

How tall is the record-breaking sunflower?

"With some green-fingered support from his family," Guinness wrote in its announcement, the plant was confirmed to be 10.90 meters – about 35 feet and 9 inches – high, from the base of its stem to the tip of its highest flower.

Clover broke the previous Guinness world record by five feet, according to Guinness.

Where did the Name “Clover” come from"

"When the flower was younger, about 10 feet tall, my son started picking a few hundred four-leaf clovers and put them on the leaf of the sunflower for good luck. I didn't think I could ever reach it ... but between my wife's prayers and son's clovers we made it."

And thus, the family named their beloved sunflower Clover.
