Description
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 depict the sun. The plant has a rough, hairy stem, broad, coarsely toothed, rough leaves and circular heads of flowers. 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 fibre which may be used in paper production.

Lovely painting, Gynt. I like the composition and how the sunflowers "pop" due to the blue background. I would like to invite you to submit this image and your other images of sunflowers to my group "World of Sunflowers". They would make a great addition to our group.

Just beautiful! **sighs** I wish I still lived in my old apartment, because this would have been PERFECT in my kitchen breakfast nook area. The light coming through the door there in the morning would have showcased this piece wonderfully, and admiring it every morning would have set a marvelous tone to my day.
