Sunflowers

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.

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant that originated in Southeastern U.S. about 5000 years ago. It was used by the local natives in bread, medical ointments, dyes and body paints. Making it way to Mexico (trading between tribes) it was a valuable plant used by the Aztecs and Otomi of Mexico and the Incas of South America. In 1510 the Spanish explorers carried seeds back to Europe, and it became very popular across the continent as a food source and as an ornamental flower.

Everything is native to somewhere. You need to be more specific about the area you are inquiring about.

because they are dying with no water and dry soil they will!

it is an autotroph because it makes its own food.

As the flowers are grown for decoration and are sterile, they don't make great eating.

Sunflower seeds are rich in iron. Two pounds of sunflower seeds contain about 21 milligrams of iron.

Commercial sunflower seeds in their hulls are more correctly called achene's. When the hull is removed, the remaining edible sunflower seed is called the sunflower kernel or heart.

There's no specific shelf life for whole sunflower seeds. People have germinated sunflower seeds that are more than seven years old. Generally speaking, seeds that are less than two years old will have the greatest chance of viability.
