The Sunflower is one of the Most Cheerful Flowers Around.

Six word photo story challenge: Freestyle

Seeds that feed, not a weed.

The aptly named sunflower — one of the most cheerful flowers around. It cheers us up with its big flower heads in shades of gold and yellow. It climbs high and looks down on the world from its perch. Its big generous center is packed with little golden flowers which become edible seeds. The famous sunflower seeds. You can eat the nutritious little seeds anywhere. And if you don’t want to eat them, you can just look at them, or sit under one in the sun.

The sunflower won’t mind. It’s very relaxed. As long as it doesn’t rain. It does not like rain. Rain gets down amongst all the seeds and messes them up. Spoils them. So may the sun shine for the sunflower.

Thanks for the idea, Mary Chang.
