sunflower
Tall yellow bloom
A sunflower is a tall plant with large yellow-petaled flowers that track the sun across the sky.
The flower head contains edible seeds arranged in spiral patterns, harvested for snacking or pressed for cooking oil.
The sunflowers in the field all faced east at dawn.
The bright yellow blooms have become symbols of optimism and summer.
