Smiling Sunflower
Sunny the sunflower loves lifting her face toward the warm sky. Her wide petals wiggle whenever a gentle breeze passes by. Give Sunny a bright and happy look with your favorite colors! She is sure to smile on even the cloudiest day.
Sunny’s Petal-Powered Smile
Sunny is a sunflower with a huge grin, a round center, and lots of wide petals spreading out like sunshine rays. Her happy face makes this bloom feel like a garden friend waving hello. You can make every petal match, or turn Sunny into a rainbow flower with a different shade on each one. A blue sky around her will make her bright petals pop!
Give Sunny a Bright Look
Classic sunflowers have golden yellow petals and a brown center, but Sunny can wear any colors you choose. Try orange-tipped yellow petals for a warm sunset look. Use dark green for her stem and leaves, then add a light blue sky behind her. Purple, pink, or turquoise petals would make a wonderfully silly sunflower that looks ready for a garden party.
Sunflower Facts for Young Gardeners
Sunflowers are famous for their large flower heads and tall, sturdy stems. Some kinds can grow taller than a grown-up! Young sunflower buds often turn toward the sun as it moves across the sky. Later, the flower head usually faces one direction. Sunflower seeds can be eaten by people and birds, and the seeds grow in neat swirling patterns in the middle of the flower.
