Sunflowers

Yes. You must be careful not to damage the roots, however.

no because it makes them sick

Sunflowers exhibit a phenomenon known as phototropism, where they grow and turn their heads toward sunlight to maximize light absorption for photosynthesis. This movement is driven by differential growth rates on the shaded side of the stem, causing the flower to bend toward the light. Additionally, sunflowers can respond to other stimuli, such as touch or gravity, although these reactions are less pronounced than their response to light. This adaptive behavior enhances their growth and reproductive success in their natural habitat.

The phrase "open as sunflowers in my hands" evokes a sense of warmth, growth, and vulnerability. Sunflowers are known for their bright, cheerful appearance and their tendency to turn toward the sun, symbolizing hope and positivity. This imagery suggests a feeling of tenderness and connection, as if the speaker is holding something precious that is blossoming and revealing its true beauty. It may also imply an openness to love or new experiences.

Ukraine grows the most sunflowers, primarily to use and export the seeds. In second place is Russia.

In 2014, the US was 11th among sunflower growers.

I would suggest with a pair of heavy clippers or a large sharp knife while warring gloves,.. then you cut them off with stems long enough to make a good sunflower display in the vase or what ever you are planning on holding your sunflower arrangement. Remember to be creative with your arrangement.
