Sunflower Smile - Photograph by Dora Sofia Caputo
This is my first sunflower image of the summer season, which I captured this week-end at the animal farm in our area. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to capture the image with the two bees on each side of the flower, resembling the eyes on a happy face!
This striking and bold plant may have received the name because of the amazing shape of the flower head in bloom which bears a tremendous resemblance to how so many people view the shape of the sun. Ask any child to draw the sun and the odds are that they will draw something that looks very similar to the bloom of a sunflower plant.
The fact that this flower has been thought to always face towards the sunshine, may well be another reason why it was given the name by which it is now so famous for. Certainly, if there ever was a plant to be named after the sun, it should be this one. Who can argue against the beautiful and magnificent bright yellow petals and the fact that it appears to look towards the sun.
