I ve to tell this story. My colegue s daughter (5 years old) allways wanted a real sunflower of her self. The mother was buying sometimes little ones in flowers shops but they allways survive for a while in water ... so as I m trading of raw materials for animal feeding...I gave to her a sunflower seed and teached her how to make it grow....she did it!!! She was looking every single day for the growing....and the moment she saw the first flower taller than her she became so happy....Now she knows that the flower is plenty of seeds....and she knows that her balcony will never be the same.
