 HOW TO GROW SUNFLOWERS:

step 1: plant the seed in dirt

step 2: give it water 

step 3: give it sunshine and lovin' 

(aka oxygen-sweet talk it)

step 4: wait for it to grow..and...

WALA!

your sunflower baby is all grown up in a matter of weeks! not all of the buds may have survived...but the beauty of the flower makes all the time waiting worth while.

people will be envious of your beautiful flower. you took such good care of it, so you let them gaze and wish...

CRAP! what the heck person.

look at your flower! you think if you dont water your flower and give it love that the SUN will do that for you? 

eeer! wrong!

i guess i wasnt clear with my instructions on how to TAKE CARE of the flower after it has already grown! but it should be a given...

growing a sunflower is like growing a friendship.

if you dont take proper care of it, it will end up like this.

just because it is still a sunflower, doesnt mean its healthy and alive. 

most likely it doesnt even smell good anymore!

eventually...

it will die beyond repair.

it will become an ashy and ugly stick in your pot.

and soon enough, you might as well take it out and plant a new flower. 

so there you have it folks! how to grow a sunflower, just like growing and taking care of a friendship! good luck! hope yours survives :) but as long as you give it lovin' and water-youll be good :)
