    Please help me here:

    I 'm after a yellow flowering plant that bows and sways along the breeze and tall enough for my younger cousins to play hide-and-seek... I'm thinking of mass planting it in my backyard.

    Does anyone know what's the name of this plant?

    Does it look great if mass planted? I want to have the yellow flowers to dominate the entire plant. Any other recommendations do you have?

    I was thinking of sun flowers, but sun flowers looks too dangerous for kids...I want to create a meallow effect.

    I'd steer away from it, I think the photos suggest the plant is more attractive in a mass planting than it actually is.

    I suggest either asking about seeking a specific plant that meets your requirements on the Hortboard, or looking for a book along the lines of "What Plants Where" or "Right Plants, Right Place" locally relevant to your area.
