Put On A Happy Face

Whenever I see sunflowers, their little centers look like happiness to me. They always make me smile. I had several in a small bouquet and moved them this way and that to see what textures and colors would pop. Did you know sunflowers are used to make so many things? They provide humans and animals with food in the form of seeds and oil. The leaves are used as fodder, the flowers yield a yellow dye, and the seeds contain oil and are used for food. The oil is used for cooking, as an ingredient of soaps and paints, and as a lubricant. WOW! What a wonderful little plant. ;o)

This is Glorious, the way you have cropped, the detail in the seed head in contrast to the soft and beautifully lighted petals. Here in Missouri and Kansas farmers are planting acres of them now as a cash crop. Beautiful to see in full bloom.
Bunny Clarke replied

I love these happy flowers. They intrigue me for some reason. I did a macro on this, so no cropping. If you look real close, there are fine droplets on the petals too. :o) Thank you for stopping by.
