Do you know that some flowers open when the sun rises and they close up when the sun sets? Yes, wild flowers like poppies, for example, are like that. I found this intriguing.
Last weekend when we drove by the flower farm, I was aimlessly looking at the few sunflowers growing in the field, and then I exclaimed:
"Hey, aren't all sunflowers suppose to be facing the sun? Why are they facing different directions then?"
Jack wasn't sure either and thought it was interesting.
The next few days when I drove by the farm again, I paid particular attention to the direction where the sunflowers were facing. Last time I checked on them, most of them were facing one direction, but a few odd ones were facing the opposite direction.
There maybe a scientific or botanical explanation to this, but I just think it is very cute.
