Description
This image Sunflower Follows the Sun was taken in a huge sunflower field grown in a nearby town of Kernersville, NC. A nursery there grows them every other year. I learned that the iconic yellow petals and fuzzy brown centers are actually individual flowers themselves. As many as 2,000 can make up the classic sunflower bloom. People saw the value in growing sunflowers, which are still harvested for sunflower seeds (and the oil you can make from them) today. In 2014, 1.7 million acres were planted in the United States, the USDA reports. The majority of those were found in North Dakota. Feathered friends love to snack on sunflower seeds just like you do. Take a sunflower head and hang it from a tree for our bird friends. In their bud phase, sunflowers will literally seek out and face the sun. This trait is called heliotropism.
