Sunflowers
Sunflowers are bright, cheerful flowers known for their large, yellow petals and tall stalks. They belong to the Helianthus genus, with Helianthus annuus being the most common species. Sunflowers are famous for their ability to track the sun, a behavior called heliotropism, which helps them maximize sunlight exposure.
They are not only beautiful but also useful—sunflower seeds are a popular snack, and sunflower oil is widely used in cooking. They also have ecological benefits, attracting pollinators and improving soil health.
