16 Sunflower Coloring Pages

Sunflowers can grow taller than a basketball hoop, and the tallest on record reached over 30 feet. Young sunflowers turn to follow the sun across the sky, a behavior called heliotropism, while mature flowers usually face east. What looks like one big flower is actually hundreds or thousands of tiny flowers packed into the center, which become seeds. Those seeds spiral in a pattern linked to the Fibonacci sequence. This set celebrates sunflowers. A bee visits a sunflower, a butterfly lands on top and a ladybug rests on a leaf. There is a bud and bloom together, a sunflower with a diamond-pattern center, a leaning stem and a whole sunflower field. A cute sunflower and a sunflower character are easy for toddlers. Petals look great in bright yellow with a touch of orange near the base, and centers in brown and dark gold. Green stems and big leaves finish each page. These are perfect for summer, gardening and plant science lessons.
