When I think about sunshine in the winter months I think about a sunflower raising its face to the sun and following it, soaking in the rays - storing them up for the cloudy days. Even though I'm not an outdoors person, in the winter when the sun shines I do try to get outside and lift my face up toward the sun - much like a sunflower.
So today #SunnySunday is highlighting the sunflower. I found out some really interesting facts about them. The first super interesting fact I found out was this:
Isn't that fascinating?! Here are some other interesting facts about the sunflower - although I am still the most fascinated by it's ability to clean up nuclear waste!
Another super fun fact about sunflowers is their mathematical skills, of which I have none so I'm always impressed when math plays a role. *wink* The seeds arranged in the Fibonacci sequence ensures maximum sunlight for each floret. How freaking cool is that?!
Today would be a great day to get a bouquet of sunflowers to brighten up your space and maybe pop a few sunflower seeds in your mouth. And if the sun is shining where you are at, get outside! And lift your face to the sun, soaking in those rays.
