Surprised? Despite its name, a sunflower is not a single flower— it’s actually a collection of hundreds, even thousands, of tiny flowers clustered together!
The large yellow "petals" we see around the edge are called ray florets, and they don’t produce seeds. But the real magic happens in the center — that’s where the disc florets live, each a complete flower capable of producing its own seed.
So next time you look at a sunflower, you’re actually looking at a whole bouquet growing as one — a perfect example of unity and natural design.
