THE SUNFLOWER. [_Page 104._
1. This flower is called _sun_-flower because it always turns its face
to the sun. It turns as the sun goes round.
2. The sunflower grows on a strong, tall stalk. It is something like a
daisy in form.
3. The deep-yellow leaves stand out in rays from the dark-coloured
middle of the flower, which is called the _disk_. This disk is made of a
large number of tiny flowers closely packed together.
4. The seeds of this flower are large and oblong, and contain oil.
5. Bees and flies visit sunflowers, to gather honey.
