Sunflower

Sunflowers, scientifically known as Helianthus annuus, are a genus of plants famous for their large, striking flower heads with bright yellow petals and a dark central disk. They are heliotropic, meaning the young flower heads follow the sun's movement across the sky, a trait that makes them highly recognizable. Cultivated for their edible seeds and oil, they are also a symbol of summer and happiness in many cultures.
