SUNFLOWER

We adore this plant that follows the sun around with a big smile on its face! At dawn, the flowers start the day facing east and then follow the sun until facing west at dusk, ultimately returning to their original position overnight. Once the sunflower matures, it stops following the sun and just stays facing east. But the unique features don’t end there: if space isn’t plentiful, they don’t compete with each other for the sunlight, but instead they gracefully twist their stems to avoid the shade of their closest neighbour, performing a rhythmic dance to a soundtrack of cicadas. Could there be a happier living being on Earth?
