The lighting was just right to make this sunflower appear as though it were painted, which it isn’t…it’s a real flower! .  Sunflowers are native to North America and were first grown here over 5000 years ago. There are over 70 species of sunflowers & have been found to be good at absorbing toxins.  Millions were planted after the devastating Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in Japan. Sunflowers are a great addition to your summer flowers and will feed you, birds, bees & butterflies.   Everyone will be happy!
