The Big Sunflower for Mom

One large sunflower stands alone above a small grassy base. A sturdy, upright stem supports its round flower head, while broad leaves spread outward at different heights. The open bloom has a wide center surrounded by many petals, giving the flower the familiar sunlike appearance celebrated in gardens and handmade gifts for Mom.

How Sunflowers Follow the Light

Young sunflower buds can slowly change direction during the day as they grow, responding to the movement of sunlight. Once the flower heads mature, they usually face in a more fixed direction. Their broad leaves capture light that the plant uses to make energy and support the developing bloom and seeds.
