Sunflowers

If you are referring to bouquet sunflowers, yes; you can usually get any type of flower at any time of the year, though they may be more expensive out of season. For growing yourself, most stores don't carry seeds during the wintertime (unless you live in the southern hemisphere, where February is summertime). However, you can usually still purchase them online.

That's pretty hard to answer, since there are many different varieties of sunflower and many forms you can buy them in. Flower bouquets often cost $30 or more. Oilseed sunflowers can be purchased for maybe $ .40 a pound. And most seed packets for decorative sunflowers containing between 10 and 30 seeds are $1.

That depends on where you live; India has several different biomes with a variety of temperatures and growing conditions. In a place that is fairly warm year-round, you can theoretically grow sunflowers at any time.

yes, they can eat sunflower seeds.

I grew Mammoth Sunflowers from seeds. The flowers smell sweet, like candy or sugar, but you have to get your nose up close. That means competing with the bees that LOVE them and are important for pollinating. I LOVE their scent, and found it to be quite intoxicating.

While Vincent himself never actually stated why he liked the sunflowers in particular, references to them are made in his many letters, which help give us some idea. In a letter to his sister dated 21 August 1888, he talks of his friend Gauguin coming to live with him in Arles. Then goes on to say that he "˜intends to decorate the whole studio with nothing but sunflowers.' He went on to write further, to his brother Theo, on the same day, "˜Now that I hope to live with Gauguin in a studio of our own, I want to make decorations for the studio. Nothing but big flowers. Next door to your shop, in the restaurant, you know there is a lovely decoration of flowers, I always remember the big sunflowers in the window there.'

In another letter to Theo dated the 9th of September 1888, he wrote, "˜The room you will have then, or Gauguin if he comes, will have white walls with a decoration of great yellow sunflowers. In the morning, when you open the window, you see the green of the gardens and the rising sun, and the road into the town. But you will see these great pictures of the sunflowers, 12 or 14 to the bunch, crammed into this tiny boudoir with its pretty bed and everything else dainty. It will not be commonplace"¦.It will have a feeling of Daumier about it"¦.' Reference from google.

Yes. Preferably unsalted. In Winter I give them Black sunflower seeds. More oil = more heat to keep them warm. Feed them well doring the Winter and you will see larger litters and healthier little ones in spring. Try to stay away from sugar, chocolate and cinnamon. Sgar free vanilla wafers are good treats.

Yes, of course it has various digestional advantages, basically as roughage. Although it is not a pleasant thing to eat, a lot of people tend to eat it to guard them against constipation due to it various fibres.

first you have to find out what germination IS

im a professional sunflower grower and my sunflowers have roots 23ft deep.

In a warm temperate climate sunflowers grow from seed to flowering stage in about three months and another six weeks until the seeds mature in the flower head.This relates to the giant flowering types-some of the smaller varieties are quicker to mature.

Yes

Helianthus was native to the Americas growing in Mexico at least as far back as 2600BC.

Taken from Mexico to Spain the sunflower was popular in Europe around the 18th Century and is cultivated worldwide.

Each sunflower head can contain as many as 800 to 2000 seeds. These seeds can vary in appearance, but the most common type used for snacking is black with a white stripe pattern on the hull. These seeds are the means of sunflower reproduction, and can be planted to grow into a new sunflower the following growing season.

Sunflowers has three syllables. Sun-flow-ers.

No. Annual sunflowers die off completely once winter comes. Perennial sunflowers die down to the tap root soon after producing seeds. In other words, you can't keep a sunflower alive year round, even in a house.

The sunflower sea star (Pycnopodia helianthoides) is a large predatory starfish with 15-26 limbs called rays. They can grow up to an arm span of 1 m (3 ft.) in diameter. The colour of the sunflower starfish ranges from bright orange, yellow and red to brown and sometimes to purple, with soft, velvet-textured bodies and 16-24 arms with powerful suckers

There are many animals that eat sunflowers and their seeds. Caterpillars do feed on the actual sunflower, while deer enjoy the leaves from the plant. Humans, squirrels, many types of birds, and rabbits eat the sunflower seeds.

There are many varieties of sunflower. The largest ones (like Mammoth or Skyscraper) are usually 8 to 12 feet high if grown in the right conditions. Many colored varieties are only 6 to 8 feet tall. Some dwarf varieties will be only 6 inches tall!

I do not think Sunflowers in general have a known maximum number of flowers. Most have one main flower and several smaller ones. ---- It depends on what kind of sunflower you have. I grow ones that have many smaller blooms. Other kinds just have one GIGANTIC bloom. There are also different colors and stuff. (e.i burgundy.) Hope it helps... RangerZ
