My Bonsai Sunflower

Look closely at the picture of my sunflower. Does something seem a bit off to you? Maybe it's because my sunflower is not even a foot tall and it looks like it's already getting its bloom going. What in the world!? Is it because I haven't transplanted it yet? I'm so confused.

I still haven't finished my big project. I'm estimating I'll be done later this week.
