How Sunflowers Grow   
Introduction:  Sunflowers are large yellow flowers
Explanation
You need a seed and a watering can. Firstly the sunflower seed is planted in the soil and watered well. After   three days  the seed germinates and the seed case splits open. After a week   a shoot  comes out of the ground. The  shoot  grows upward because it needs sunlight to grow. After   this the  first leaves open out, then  the stem  grows taller, the leaves grow bigger and the shoot becomes a seeding .  Later on a bud forms. After that the bud  opens and a flower head opens out .  After a while the petals fall off  and the plant begins to die.  Then the seeds fall  into the soil and  the life cycle starts again.
Conclusion : Sunflowers  are very pretty to have in your house because they really brighten it up.
