FUN FACTS about SUNFLOWER



  • Sunflowers are a great choice for planting to attract birds to your yard.
  • Sunflowers are one of the fastest growing plants. They can grow 8 to 12 feet tall in rich soil within six months.
  • It require only 90 to 100 days from planting to maturity.
  • The daily orientation of the flower to the sun is a direct result of differential growth of the stem. A plant-growth regulator, or auxin, accumulates on the shaded side of a plant when conditions of unequal light prevail. Because of this accumulation, the darker side grows faster than the sunlit side. Thus, the stem bends toward the sun.
  • Sunflower seeds are rich in oil, which they store as a source of energy and food. Sunflower seeds are crushed to give us oil. We can use sunflower oil for cooking.
And....for sure...it's beautiful to be captured in photography...;)
I used Casio Exilim to capture these beautiful flowers.
