Sunflower Seeds

The common sunflower has a green erect stem covered in coarse hairs, growing on average around 2m tall. The leaves are broad, with serrated edges, and are alternately arranged on the stem. The ‘flower’ of the common sunflower is actually a pedantism, or flowerhead, made up of many small flowers. The outer yellow ‘petals’ on the flowerhead are known as ray flowers and are made up of multiple petals fused together. Ray petals are usually yellow but can sometimes be red or orange. The black-brown flowers in the centre of the head, called disk flowers, grow in a spiral formation, and mature into sunflower seeds over time.
