Description
"Sunflower and Red Barn" by Catherine Sherman.
A honeybee visits a sunflower against the backdrop of a red barn, adorned with an American flag and a sign for a popular soft drink.
The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant native to the Americas. It possesses a large inflorescence (flowering head), and its name is derived from the flower's shape and image, which is often used to capture the sun. The plant has a rough, hairy stem, broad, coarsely toothed, rough leaves, and circular flower heads. The heads consist of many individual flowers which mature into seeds, often in the hundreds, on a receptacle base. From the Americas, sunflower seeds were brought to Europe in the 16th century, where, along with sunflower oil, they became a widespread cooking ingredient. Leaves of the sunflower can be used as cattle feed, while the stems contain a fiber useful in paper production. Sunflower seeds are delicious to eat and can be eaten raw, roasted or made into sunflower butter.
