Kansas State Flower: Sunflower

Kansas State Flower Coloring

When I think of Kansas I think of corn as far as the eye can see, taller than most men. My father's family lived there so I spent many Summers visiting my grandmother and cousins and aunts and uncles. They lived in the Southeast corner and we would meander along old tiny roads to see all the cornfields. 

But on the sides of the fields would be giant Sunflowers. They grow very tall also (up to 15 feet!), and the seeds from them make a wonderful snack! 

Sunflowers are Yellow, with a Brown center. Sometimes the outside of the center is Brown with an inner circle of Green. There are a few Sunflowers that are Red, but they are called Sunflowers for a reason! If you want people to recognize your Sunflower color them Yellow. They bloom all during the month of September.
