Sunflowers Make Me Happy.

Bright and cheerful, the sunflower is a happy flower. Named Sonnenblume in Germany, Girasol in Spain, or Tournesol in France, the birds don't care, they love the seeds anywhere.  Twenty years ago, Van Gogh's sunflower art painting (Vase of 15 Sunflowers) sold for a cool 39 million at Christie's auction in London!  That was in 1987, and with new estimates for inflation, those sunflowers are now worth 71 million.

Did you know sunflowers come in red?  And also  two-toned shades!
Did you know their are rainbow colored chocolate coated sunflower seeds?
And that there are special sunflower seeds you can sprout at home?

Sunflowers get me feeling pizazzed and zesty.  To me they are a symbol of powerful optimism and cheerful expectancy. 

"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.  It's what sunflowers do."... Helen Keller. 

Surfers and sunflowers, they both follow the sun...Lilly 

This lens is my personal fun dedication to the sunflower.

Here you'll find all things sunflower.  Sunflower videos (artists painting, seeds growing, slide shows to music, farmer in sunflower field), sunflower cards, calendars, books, paintings, and sunflower food products, sunflower seeds for humans to eat or to sprout, for birds, or for growing in your garden.  Sunflower mugs, sunflower paintings and illustrations... posters, t-shirts, and sunflower postage stamps. There's also sunflower clipart and cartoons. 

Hey, these flowers get around.
The birds and the bees love them. So do chipmunks and squirrels. And rabbits and mice and hamsters.  If you have lots of sunflower seeds, you can become extremely popular with rodents!

Sunflower Greens Sprouting
sunflower sprouts
Sprout People has an incredible website about sprouts.
Sunflower seeds for sprouted greens are the small pure black oily seed. To me, the only reason to only use those, was because the seeds had enough strength to push the hulls off, [without growing a deep root]. (Even so, I always had to manually remove some hulls).
This link is for growing 3-4 inch greens.
(An easier way, I came upon, was letting my sunflower heads go to seed and letting the birds have their way with them. They dropped hundreds of seeds which sprouted in groups every week. I went outside with scissors and cut little bouquets for salads.)
Sunflower greens have a potent flavor and are great on sandwiches. You can also buy sunflower greens in markets. They don't last too long in the fridge. (3-5 days) But if you keep them nice and dry, they will maybe last 5 days.

Growing Sunflowers from ... Sunflower Seeds! 

The most important thing for growing sunflowers is full sun. While they like fertile soil, they can grow relatively well anywhere and can be seen wild along sunny roadsides. There are several varieties the sunflower. Named Helianthus annuus, it is in the Asteraceae plant family.

Sunflowers will follow the sun (called heliotropism). In the morning they are facing east and follow the sun as it moves across the horizon to the west. Then each night, they slowly turn back towards the east. So if you are planning a sunflower garden, you want to figure out your directions, so when you look at them in bloom, they will not have their backs turned to you.

Sunflowers also come in all sorts of sizes from dwarf, some are more bushy, to others gargantuan tall. So again plan your garden for size and color.

They sprout in 1-2 weeks, sometimes sooner. Soil is best if it is "holds moisture and good drainage"... how we all wish all soil acted. Sunflowers are extremely hardy if they have full sun (6 hours per day at least).

You can pre-sprout seeds in a jar or with a moist paper towel in a dark place and then plant in the ground about an inch deep and at least a foot apart. (Use your judgment based on the seed kind. The dwarf can be a bit closer, the giants a foot and a half apart.) The little sproutlet with the outer husk gets planted all together. You use less seeds this way, and can place them more accurately, and birds can't dig them up.

Sometimes as they grow large with heavy heads, you may need to stake them if it's very windy.

If you want to harvest big seeds from the mature heads, choose a sunflower cultivar specifically from the seed catalogue for that purpose. You can eat any of the other seeds, but the colored ones, and dwarf varieties are much smaller. The dwarf varieties can be planted in a pot. They are charming.

If you plan on harvesting the seed heads when mature (they will brown and begin drying out), cut the entire head and .. lay it so it is has air circulation around it (and the will not get moldy) to dry out for a couple of weeks. The dry seeds will then just rub off and pop out. Save some for the next planting, the biggest healthiest dryest. The rest are ready to be sprouted, or roasted, or fed to birds. A couple of useful links on growing:

What a fantastic lens.I just want to say i am a keen gardener and a couple of years ago my kids and me bought a packet of sunflower seeds they all grow in excess of 6 foot. The point i am getting to is when the sunflower is at its peak you can draw smiley faces with your finger on the centre part of the flower.Part of the seed covering comes off to show the seed under neath.So you have a very tall flower looking down on you with a very big smile.I started doing this on any sunflower i come across. I bet you all try this next time you see a sunflower.
