These beautiful flowers grow in the wild, but many people love to have them in their gardens too. Sunflowers are easy to grow. First, you need to plant the seeds in a sunny spot in your garden. They need a lot of sun. If you water them regularly, they will grow fast. Sunflower plants can reach up to 3 meters in height, which is as tall as an adult giraffe!

这些美丽的花朵生长在野外， 但许多人也喜欢在自己的花园种。种植向日葵很简单。首先，你需要在花园阳光充足的地方种下。它们需要大量的阳光。如果你定期给他们浇水，他们就会快速生长。向日葵可以生长到3米高，这个高度和成年长颈鹿一样高。

Sunflowers are not only beautiful but also very useful. The big seeds can be eaten or used to make oil. Sunflower oil is healthy and used for cooking in many parts of the world. The flowers themselves can also attract bees and butterflies, which benefits other plants in your garden by helping with pollination.

向日葵不仅美丽，而且非常有用。大个的种子可以用来吃，也可以用来制油。向日葵油对健康有益，因此在世界上许多地方被用来烹饪。花本身可以吸引蜜蜂和蝴蝶，因为它们可以帮助传粉。

我pollination n.授粉

我Bees may play an important role in pollination.

Another interesting thing about sunflowers is that they follow the sun across the sky—a behavior known as "heliotropism."In the morning, the flowers will face east and slowly turn west as the sun moves across the sky. Then at night, they slowly turn back to the east to start a new day.

关于向日葵另一个有趣的事情是它们会追随太阳移动——这种行为被称为“向日性”。早上，花朵会面向东方，随着太阳在天空中移动，它们会慢慢转向西方。然后到了夜晚，它们慢慢地转回东方，开始新的一天。

Sunflowers are not just flowers; they are plants with character and usefulness.

向日葵不仅仅是花朵，它们还是具有特色和用途的植物。
