The Flower that Reaches for the Sun

The Flower that Reaches for the Sun

  [中文版本]

My favorite plant is the sunflower. Each day, I gaze at pictures of sunflowers and dream of standing in a vast sea of golden blooms. I love their bright yellow hue—a color bursting with energy and life.

I still remember when I was six years old, my family and friends visited a giant sunflower field. Tens of thousands of sunflowers stretched as far as the eye could see, their faces glowing with vibrant yellow light. My eyes were soaked in that lively color, and for a moment, I felt like a sunflower myself. The field attracted many visitors—and countless busy bees gathering nectar from bloom to bloom. After the flowers fade, they leave behind seeds, arranged in perfect circles, each resting in its own tiny chamber—a marvel of nature. Those seeds are not only delicious but also full of nutrition, a perfect little snack.

What amazes me most is how sunflowers always turn their faces toward the sun, following its path across the sky—always reaching for the light. That’s why they are called “flowers that face the sun.”

I love sunflowers, and I love how they grow, always facing the sun.
