Interesting. Sunflowers that are grown here are harvested for the seeds which are sold to consumers.I assume that is the same where you live. Or do you have other uses for this marvelous plant? Nice photograph.
It seems that sunflowers are quite the popular flower.
Claude: That's interesting. In the later stages, they do look at the ground when they become so heavy with seeds. But, in their earlier days, they're all sun-facing, and sun-tracking.
Abraham: I think the same is done here. Seeds to be used as is, to be pressed for oil, to be used in breads. Yes, just saw a sign for sunflower seed bread at the local bakery today.
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments.

Over here in france we have sunflower fields. The french name is opposite "tournesols". The flower that look at ground.
That's a lonely looking sunflower poking it's head up there. I liked your comment about my "jewel-like" flower - it does have that kind of effect
