Text and Images from Sunflowers

Have you ever eaten a sunflower seed?
Did you know you are eating part of a flower?

Growing a sunflower starts with seeds
that are planted in the ground.

The seed will begin to sprout into a little plant called a seedling. With lots of water and sunlight the seedling will grow and grow.

Soon, a bud grows on the little plant. A bud is where the flower will grow. As the bud gets bigger, it’s getting ready for the flower to open.
