Sunflower

Good evening community of steemit, I hope and they are well.

I want to share a brief summary about something that catches my attention and that I think is one of the most beautiful flower that a garden can have, this flower is called Helianthus annus that arises from a combination helios and anthos, is currently known as SUNFLOWER, which symbolizes sun, love and admiration but also happiness, vitality, positivism and energy. This flower its petals are yellow, but there are also orange, dark red, cream and brown.
This flower is given several uses among them is that oil is extracted since it contains 58% in its fruit that is used for cooking and to produce biodiesel, its stem contains a fiber that can be used in papermaking, and the leaves can also serve as food for the cattle.
