Sunflowers

Are pregnant women allowed to eat sunflower seeds? Yes. Do they absolutely need to for an optimal pregnancy? No. Do sunflower seeds have any special properties that make them good for a developing child anymore than any other nut or seed? Not really.

Sunflowers are plants and do not have prey. The only plants that do are insectivorous plants such as the Venus Flytrap.

Sunflowers will bloom naturally when they are ready. It can take several weeks from the initial formation of the head to develop fully and bloom.

Sunflower seeds; these seeds are edible

Apparently not. They are according to the following report very good for them and horses love them. Although if you know horses like I know horses it would just depend on the horse itself. I've got some that love apples and some that hate apples. With Sun flowers there need be little waste. Thegreen leaves, when gathered young, make a good succulent green food for poultry stock of all ages. They can be finely minced up and added - raw - to the mash for young or adult stock, or they can be boiled and put in the soft food. The leaves are much appreciated by rabbits, horses, cows and other stock.

Definitely bees!! They love all sorts of flowers but sunflowers more than most. This may not be good if you are allergic, but if your not,having the bees around is a very good thing.

Wind affects plant growth by creating the problem of desiccation. The type an amount of plants that grow in an area will be affected by how much wind the area gets. An area that has lots of wind will only have plants that grow strong anchors. Vegetation tends to grow more on the side of a tree that will be less affected by the wind.

Lotus tend to have 12 to 20 petals.

Sunflower seeds grow behind the yellow part of the sunflower. I buy sunflower seeds at Wal-Mart, as soon as February. They have very inexpensive seeds at 10 cents per package. These inexpensive seeds are usually open pollinated, or non-hybrid. This means that you can save some of the seeds for planting. Hybrid plants often produce more seeds, but those seeds are not usually good for planting. I plant sunflower seeds after the last frost where they will get full sunlight. By late fall, the seeds are mature, and I cut the flowers off the stalks, tie three or four of them together, and hang them up to dry. When dry, rubbing your hand hard over the flower will knock the seeds loose. They are still in their shells. Save some to plant next year. Eat the rest. Birds like the seeds a lot and will try to eat them off the plants.

Unlikely! They are annual plants and are grown anew each year from seed. They do not establish themselves like shrubs or bushes.

There are are no cultivation guidelines for sunflowers which recommend cutting back!

They are grown for their flowers and seeds. They grow very quickly from seed.

To ensure continuity of blooms during the flowering season, seed should be sown in succession, every fortnight for six weeks in the early part of the growing season.

If it is a good warm/hot summer, each cycle, from sowing to blooming, will only take about 60 days!

Enjoy!

To be effective for photosynthesis the flower will face the sun.

The flower has a hormone called auxin, in the stem it is "phototropic" so will grow more on the side with less light. This happens slightly differently with the flower head but the same effect is acquired; the head faces the sun.

bean plants grow in the sun cause they need nutrition all plants need nutrition

All leafy plants have leaves for the same reason - to make energy from sunlight.

It looks like a tiny weed with two leaves. One pointing the opposite way from each other.

Yes, pure Sunflower Oil is a perfectly safe and cheap lubricant for anal toy play or intercourse, causing no adverse effects or irritation to the anus itself. Be aware, however that non pure sunflower oil such as scented or flavoured etc should not be used as these additives

WARNING: Do not use any type of oil if using condoms as a means of reducing the chances of getting sexually transmitted infection. Any oil significantly weakens most condoms, always use a water based lube when using condoms.

a sunflower weighs 1 pound.

A Sunflower adapts to its environment by using the water,minerals and nutrients from the soil and also uses the Sunlight to grow. A Sunflower has strong roots that are tightly attached to the ground in the soil.It also makes its in food in the process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A plant also saves and stores its extra food in the leaves.

Sun flowers bloom in the summer.

Through a process called photosynthesis. The flower takes in carbon dioxide and sunlight and makes food with it. Then it gives out oxygen and it starts all over again. P.S. The photosynthesis happens in the leaves. P.S. Photosynthesis happens to all plants including trees

That depends on where you live and the conditions you are growing them in. In rich, well watered soil, they do not require any real care. In drier soil, they may need watered occasionally to grow to their full potential.

Yes, plants can actually "move" towards the sun- Phototropism is when the direction of a plant's growth is determined by the direction of the light source. Blue light receptors called phototropins that sense blue wavelengths of light and Auxins which are plant hormones play key roles in this process.

If it is colder than it will have to adapt to the temperature. If it is warmer it will have to get watered more often. If it's not in the sunlight a lot it will either die or have to adapt well.
