The Sunflower

Okay, so I found this sunflower on the floor of the HFAC, and I thought it was the most beautiful thing ever. It had no stem or anything and was basically completely flat on the bottom.

So I decided to try and give it new life, and put in the ground by the library.

I visited it every day to check up on its progress.. and every day it died a little bit more.




Until one day, me and my friend found the sunflower like this.


We thought it was totally gone. So my friend kinda nudged it with his foot, and we realized that it had GROWN A STEM!
The little guy had grown an actual stem that was in the ground! It was so cool, so we covered it back up with dirt and put some water on it. We came back the next day..
BOOM. Healthy, normal looking sunflower. I'm so proud of it.

Anyways, now I go back just about every day and look at it. It's starting to die again, but it is getting closer to winter so I'm not terribly shocked. I'm just so proud that it resurrected even for a short time. Even other people like my sunflower. I've told some people about it, and now there's about 5 or 6 people that know about my sunflowers resurrection and give it some love every time they walk by.

So that's the story of my beautiful sunflower.
