Description:

The Common Sunflower is a flowering plant that have brilliant yellow petals and a red-brown central disk. It has a rough hairy stem with high and broad, toothed, rough leaves arranged in spirals. Sunflower usually grows 1-4.5 meters tall which makes them noticeable especially that they truly look like a golden sun due to its giant round shape and bright color.

Habitat:

This picture of sunflower was taken in an dry wide-open environment located directly under the rays of the sun. But they bloom more during summertime.

Notes:

The leaves of Common Sunflowers are great remedies for fever because the leaves are expectorant which means they it helps relive congestion if a person has a cold or flu.
