How did we miss this?!?

Happy National SUNFLOWER Day! 🌻🌻
Sunflower facts:
🌻Sun Tracking (Heliotropism): Young sunflowers follow the sun's movement across the sky, maximizing sunlight absorption. Mature sunflowers generally face east.
🌻Actually Many Flowers: What appears to be a single sunflower head is actually composed of hundreds or even thousands of small flowers called florets. The yellow petals are called ray florets, and the central disk contains disc florets, where the seeds develop.
🌻Native to the Americas: Sunflowers originated in North America and were cultivated by Native Americans over 4,000 years ago for food, oil, and dye.
🌻Tallest on Record: The tallest sunflower ever recorded was over 30 feet tall.
🌻Wide Range of Uses: Sunflowers and their seeds are used for:
🌻Food: Seeds can be eaten raw, roasted, or used to make oil and flour.
🌻Oil: Sunflower oil is a healthy cooking oil, rich in Vitamin E, and can be used to make biodiesel.
🌻Dye: Sunflower petals and seeds can create yellow or brown dyes.
Animal Feed: Seeds are used as feed for birds and livestock.
🌻Medicinal Uses: Sunflower leaves have been used in decoctions to soothe aches and treat conditions like snake bites.
🌻Environmental Cleanup (Phytoremediation): Sunflowers are able to absorb toxins and radioactive elements from contaminated soil, including lead, arsenic, and uranium. This property was utilized after the Chernobyl disaster to help clean up the environment.
🌻Symbolism: Sunflowers are generally seen as a symbol of happiness, positivity, and warmth. They can also represent loyalty, adoration, and longevity. In some cultures, they symbolize good fortune, vitality, and even worship.🌻 

This photo was taken in my garden and is available on print/canvas. It can be ordered in just about any size just PM me if you’re interested. Thank you for supporting my Small Business and I hope that you learn something new every time you come to my page. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

In case you miss it…

Sunflower season is here, but, for Mark Wagner, owner and operator of Centerfield Sunflowers, it’s looking a little different this year.
