Sunflower

Sunflowers are native to North America and were first domesticated by indigenous people over 1000 years ago. They were originally grown for their seeds, which were used for food and oil.

Sunflowers are known for their large, yellow flowers that can grow up to 30 centimeters in diameter. The flowers are actually made up of hundreds of small flowers called florets.

Sunflowers are also known for their ability to track the sun. This process is called heliotropism and it allows the sunflower to maximize its exposure to sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis.

In addition to their beauty, sunflowers have many practical uses. They are used to make cooking oil, birdseed, and even biodiesel. Sunflowers are also used in the production of latex and dyes.

Overall, sunflowers are a fascinating and versatile plant that have played an important role in human history and continue to be an important crop today.
