Campanille Sunflowers 

    Ah, sunflower! weary of time
    Who contest the steps of the sun
    Seeking after that sweet golden clime
    Where the traveler's journey is done.

Neat Sunflower Facts

Did you know that there are 67 species of sunflowers, growing in the USA, Europe, Japan, and Russia?

The sunflower is not one flower, but a cluster of more then 2000 tiny flowers growing together!

A sunflower's head can grow to be as big as 2 feet across and the plant itself can be as tall as 18 feet.

The sunflower is most at home in Kansas, "The Sunflower State"!
