Sunflower Coloring Page

Young sunflower buds actually track the sun's movement from east to west during the day, a behavior called heliotropism. This helps the growing flower get maximum sunlight and warmth. However, once sunflowers fully bloom, they stop moving and face east to greet the morning sun.

A single large sunflower can contain between 1,000 and 2,000 seeds arranged in a perfect spiral pattern. This spiral pattern is called the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical pattern found throughout nature. It's an efficient way to pack the maximum number of seeds into the flower head.

Sunflowers are native to North America, particularly regions of Mexico and the southwestern United States. Native Americans cultivated sunflowers for thousands of years before Spanish explorers brought them to Europe in the 1500s. Today, they're grown worldwide for their seeds, oil, and beauty.
