Sunflowers

Sunflowersby Mimi Jorling

A sunflower is a big, circular, yellow flower. Sunflowers need a lot of sun to grow. Sunflowers

are actually made up of lots and lots of tiny flowers. The center part is made of one kind of

flower, and the petals around it are another kind of flower.

We use sunflowers in different ways. One thing we do with them is look at them! Many people

add them to gardens because they are so big, bright, and colorful. They can also be cut and

brought inside. They will last a long time in a vase. A vase is a jar, bottle, or other container

that is used to hold flowers.

Sunflower seeds are good to eat. People, birds, and other animals, including squirrels and

chipmunks, love to eat sunflower seeds. They can be difficult to eat if they are still in their

shells, but they are filled with protein and are good for you! Sunflower seeds also have a lot of

oil in them. It can be squeezed out and collected. Many people use sunflower oil for cooking.

Sunflowers are pretty flowers, and they give us and other animals food. Be careful of the

stems, though-they are rough and very scratchy!
