Yes, when a sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is in bloom, the flowers are really in the dark middle. As the bracts (what we call petals) fade, the seeds are growing in that middle. When the seeds are ripe and you, or a bird, can eat them, the head will be drooping towards the ground where either you can collect them, or the seeds will fall to the ground for next year's display.
