关于向日葵的英文作文20篇

江北小学孟馨雅

我喜欢的花不是热情似火的玫瑰，也不是娇艳欲滴的桃花，而是不卑不亢的向日葵。

从远处看，那一朵朵向日葵像一个个金色的太阳，那么耀眼，走近些一看，却发现向日葵的茎竟有一根玉米棒那样粗，茎上长着一根根绒毛，可爱极了！但是摸起来却是十分扎手。向日葵的叶子大小不一，最大的有一把芭蕉扇那么大，最小的也有我手掌这么大，越往上叶子就越小，越往下叶子就越大，真是太有趣了！向日葵的花像一个大圆盘，花瓣是金灿灿的黄色，土黄色的花蕊里透着绿，真是美丽极了！

向日葵虽然没有兰花的清新飘逸，没有美人蕉的热情奔放，也没有玫瑰的高贵典雅，但它却有着自己独特的美，它结出的果实还能给人们带来欢乐，我爱向日葵，爱它的积极、爱它的勇敢、爱它那无私奉献的精神！

你来人间一趟，你要看看太阳。你张开了笑脸，像是向日葵转动着金色的花盘。

——题记。

人的一生会遇到两个人：一个惊艳了时光，一个温柔了岁月。而你，就是那个温柔了我岁月的那个人——我的弟弟。

还记得你刚刚出生的时候吗？那时的我才刚刚10岁，好奇地看着小小的你，你也睁着眼睛看着我，我在你身旁呆了很久，刚要离开，你却开始哭闹了，我又站回了你的身边，这时，你才平息了哭声。我很高兴，因为你认同了我这个姐姐。

你是那阳光下最纯真，最美好的一轮向日葵，你知道吗？有一个人已经将你种进了心中。你长大了，也更调皮了，每次笑着跑到我的跟前，然后一把抓下我的眼镜；或是在我的书上乱画；或是弄乱我的书桌……我只是装祥打一下你的手，然后笑着跑开。

可是有时候你会感动我，比如有一次只剩下一块巧克力，哪怕你很爱吃，也一定要留给我；我上学临走时你会抱着我的腿依依不舍；才三岁的你，会像妈妈一样叮嘱我这，唠叨我那……

一念花开，一念花落，这山长水远的人世，终究要自己走下去。我们无法相伴一世，但是你所温暖的那些岁月，我会铭记一生一世。

如果我们有一天真的长大了，你会不会依旧如此，牵我双手，轻声呢喃。你带给我的阳光，将永远照亮着我。你的美，留在我心；你的声音，似流水之韵；我不语，不寻，只是将你放在我心。

你，是我心中的向日葵，永远，带给我快乐。

今天早上，阳光明媚，我们一家人自驾来到了向往已久的宁海长街佳田欢乐农场。在那里，有婀娜多姿的向日葵；有穿着绿风衣的黄瓜；还有小巧玲珑的草莓……。

一眼望去，它们像在跳欢快的小苹果舞，我飞奔过去。这才发现原来向日葵高高的，茎粗粗的，像根铁棒似的。叶子密密麻麻、毛绒绒的。上面还有几只小虫，好像要把它当成床似的。还有像盘子大的花朵儿，花瓣黄黄的，中间有几只欢快又勤劳的小蜜蜂，在花朵间自由地飞来飞去。看，那边有一颗特别的向日葵，一个茎上长了六朵小向日葵，我忽然觉得，向日葵好像有分身术呢！爸爸、妈妈、我和弟弟在花间快乐地跑来跑去，爸爸还偷偷地用手机把这精彩的瞬间留了下来。

这真是一片美丽的葵花海洋！我忽然之间觉得自己也是一朵美丽的向日葵，正在风里跳舞呢！

It was the second day of our summer holiday. I felt good. I felt Im free.

I had a lot of time to do things I like. My parents are in Beijing. So I live

alone but I dont feel lonely. But I didnt do something special. I stayed at

home and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an English daily composition. It was my

homework. Today, I have slept for 14 hours. I thought I was very tired. It was

time for dinner. I must go! I am very hungry.

向日葵不像月季花一样是花中皇后，不像百合花一样的纯白高贵，不像荷花有着艳丽的花朵，它虽然长得很一般，但向日葵默默无闻的无私奉献，它一生都在为人民服务，所以，我很喜欢向日葵。

在我老家门前的一片土地上种着一大片金黄色的向日葵。向日葵的颜色是金黄色的，或许是因为一生围着太阳转，而被太阳照射染化成金黄色了吧。只要太阳照在它的身上，就会闪闪发光。

向日葵的根又唱又粗，牢牢地站在土壤里，它的枝干更粗，叶子也很大，更值得一提的是它的花朵。向日葵的花朵又大又圆，上面有许多小孔，那些小孔里就是向日葵的果实。也就是我们通常说的“瓜子”，向日葵与其他的花有着最大的不同是，它的生命一直和太阳连在一起，太阳到哪它就到哪，虽然，向日葵没有醉人的花香，但它自身具有的瓜子香味足以让它升价百倍。很多爱嗑瓜子的人，吃着又香又脆的瓜子，怎么会忘了向日葵夜以继日的劳作辛苦的这份成绩？

向日葵一生都在为人们服务，果实给人们吃，枝干可以烧火，叶子也可以喂生灵……总之，它把自己能够贡献的全部贡献给了人们。

向日葵就是这样的默默无闻，无私奉献，不图回报，所以，我喜欢向日葵。

向日葵，一种向阳的，永远追随光明的植物

当太阳刚刚从地平线上升起时，满山遍野的金黄早已恭候它的到来。也许是出于求生的本能，但我们依然把它们定义为光明的忠实追随者。天长日久的光线让它们由内而外的变成了金黄的颜色——那是阳光的色彩。

这么光明的一种植物，人们当然希望它们会常驻心中，让心里充满光明与温暖。就像那片如洗的碧空下金黄的田野一样。

向日葵的花语是沉默的爱，恰似它第一个迎接太阳一样。它不会像红花绿叶一样张扬自己的美丽以博取阳光的青睐，它只是默默地吸收阳光，默默地开花，默默地结果。以一盘丰硕的葵花籽来对大自然报以最无私的回报。

它追随光明，黑夜里将头低下，不愿向月亮展示自己的残缺或收获。它是专一的，它的使命是跟随太阳，所以它不愿向任何其他的事物展示。

它绝不挑剔，种子落到哪里，它就在哪里生根繁殖。环境是什么样，它照样能活的好好的。这种从容和随缘的性格是植物里少有的。

它有炫目的外表，也有高尚的品质，人们大概都想成为这样吧。

所以，心中的向日葵可能映射出的就是一个人渴望变成的样子。专一、阳光、从容、随缘、外表美、内心美。

假设真的想拥有，首先要拥有一颗种子，一个信念，我心中的向日葵才会生根发芽。

August 2nd，2014 sunny

Today I went out with friends for an outing， outside air is very good，

people feel very comfortable. We all appreciate the fine girls bicycles. We

enjoyed the beautiful nature brought. We happily spent a happy day.

【中文翻译】

这天和朋友一齐出去郊游，外面的空气很好，人感觉很舒服。我们骑着自行车一路欣赏鸟语花香。享受着大自然带给我们的无限完美。大家开开心心地度过了愉快的一天。

中秋节的早晨阳光明媚，我迫不及待的从床上爬了起来，迅速叫醒爸爸妈妈：“爸爸妈妈，快起来快起来，去看向日葵啦！”“现在几点了？”爸爸迷迷糊糊的问道，“六点半！”“才六点半？你疯了？不行，再睡会儿吧！”“哎呀，起来吗！”我边拉着爸爸边撒着娇，爸爸无可奈何，只能从床上起来了……

在我的努力下，我们全家不到八点就看到让我心仪已久的向日葵了。当那成片成片的向日葵出现在我的眼前时，我开心的不得了，特别想站在它们中间与它们一起迎风起舞。突然，一只蚂蚱跳到了草叶上，吓了我一跳。但是，我想到蚂蚱是害虫，所以就一把抓住了它，就让妈妈帮我拍照留念。可是，就在拍照的时候，狡猾的蚂蚱趁我不注意跳走了，照片没有拍成，我很难过！不过，一看到金黄黄的向日葵，我的心情立即好了起来，它们仿佛一个个张开笑脸的小太阳，真可爱！我来到一朵最高、最茁壮的向日葵旁边，妈妈“咔嚓”一下，一张完美的照片出现在手机的相册里。我走啊走啊，来到一条湖边，发现湖面上漂浮着几片像荷叶的东西，一看是菱角，特别开心。在妈妈的建议下，我选择了一片菱角带回家。 走着走着，已经是中午十一点了，田野上玩耍的人已经寥寥无几了，所以我们也依依不舍的回家了。回家之前，我跟向日葵悄悄做了一个约定，明年再来看它们！

这次的向日葵之旅可真有趣！

Today is June 20th is Fathers Day, Dad is a great name, he carries the

responsibility of the family, and I have grown up on Dads shoulders for as long

as I can remember.

I remember that when I was a child, I had a high fever, and my father

hurriedly carried me to the hospital. The doctor said, "Its fine, just get an

injection..." I fell asleep and heard this vaguely.

In the evening, my father called me up and said, "Come on, drink the

medicine before going to bed." I took a sip, it was bitter, and I said I dont

want to drink it, so my father brought me a piece of candy and said, "You After

you drink the medicine, I will give you the sugar." At that time, I didnt

understand, so I thought sugar was the best thing, so I drank the medicine, put

the sugar in my mouth, and then fell asleep...

In the middle of the night, I vaguely felt a hand touching my forehead, I

opened my eyes slightly, and saw that my father was sitting on the edge of my

bed, gently touching my head, I turned around and lay on the bed, Tears flowed

down.

Today is Fathers Day. My sister bought a belt for my uncle. After I saw

it, I lowered my head and didnt know how to face my father, but my father

smiled at me and said, "Dad doesnt need any gifts, as long as you eat more and

gain weight. , dont be like a bean sprout, its the best gift for Dad." Dad,

you are the best dad in the world, Dad, I love you! Happy Fathers Day!

Fathers Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males,

just as Mothers Day celebrates motherhood. Typically giving gifts to fathers

and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Fathers Day is

celebrated on different days in different countries.

Fathers Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate

fathers or forefathers. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers Day is

celebrated on Saint Josephs Day, March 19, though in most countries Fathers

Day is a secular celebration.

In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by selling

male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other childrens

programs commonly have activities to make Fathers Day gifts.

In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the

celebration of Fathers Day was Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston,

Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single

parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna

Jarviss efforts to establish Mothers Day. Although she initially suggested

June 5, the anniversary of her fathers death, she did not provide the

organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was

deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Fathers Day was celebrated on

June 19, 1910, in Spokane.

Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was

immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his

family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday

in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Fathers Day a holiday to be

celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially

recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.

Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.It is a very happy day

for many boys and girls .Before the term ends in some schools ,the children act

a nativity or “birth” play,showing how Jesus was born in a stable.

On the twenty-fourth of December,all children are very excited.Usually they

are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.The

younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or

fireplace ,so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in.The greedy ones

even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents.Later that

night,Father or Mother will put presents in the sock,and leave others at the

side of the bed.

On Christmas morning,the children wake up very early.Some even turn on the

light at two oclock,and most of them are awake by six oclock although it is

not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year.Children

look for their presents,and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.At

about one oclock in the afternoon,the Christmas dinner is brought in.The turkey

or chicken is quickly eaten.Children search in their Christmas pudding for new

coins which are hidden in it.The rest of the day is full of games and eating

until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.

Every family has lots of housework。 Everyone should learn to do some of it。 I often help my parents do housework such as washing clothes， cleaning the room and watering flowers。 I think I‘ve learned how to take good care of myself and my family by doing housework。 Sometimes cleaning all the windows is an enjoyable experience。 I really felt proud of myself。 And doing housework is also a kind of exercise。 The summer holiday is coming。 Im going to learn how to cook some dishes。 My parents will be happy to enjoy them。

在我们的生活中，有许许多多的植物。如：向日葵，仙人掌，桃花……其中我最喜欢的就是向日葵。

还记得小时候，妈妈给我讲过向日葵名字的由来，因为它一直面向太阳所以由此得名。

向日葵的花瓣很细，花瓣里面有花蕊，用手去摸感觉很软，它的叶子和茎都有一些像毛一样的小刺，向日葵面向阳光时，它的叶子会发出银绿色的光。

远远地看去，向日葵就像一个个金色的太阳一样，露出金黄的笑脸。走近一看，才发现向日葵中间还有一个小圆盘，小圆盘里面还有许多小孔，那里的颜色黄里透绿，外面的花瓣是橘黄色的，非常惹人喜爱。等向日葵成熟后，它的果实就可以吃了。经过炒制后，会有很多丰富的口味供人们选择。

它虽然没有桂花的芳香，没有玉兰花的高贵，但它有积极向上的精神。向日葵，你是我最喜爱的花。

The Fascinating Moonrise

There is a hill near my home that I often climb at night. The noise of the city is a far-off murmur. In the hush of dark I share the cheerfulness of crickets and the confidence of owls. But it is the drama of the moonrise that I come to see. For that restores in me a quiet and clarity that the city spends too freely.

From this hill I have watched many moons rise. Each one had its own mood. There have been broad, confident harvest moons in autumn; shy, misty moons in spring; lonely, white winter moons rising into the utter silence of an ink-black sky and smoke-smudged orange moons over the dry fields of summer. Each, like fine music, excited my heart and then calmed my soul.

But we, who live indoors, have lost contact with the moon. The glare of street lights and the dust of pollution veil the night sky. Though men have walked on the moon, it grows less familiar. Few of us can say what time the moon will rise tonight.

Still, it tugs at our minds.

If we unexpectedly encounter the full moon, huge and yellow over the horizon, we are helpless but to stare back at its commanding presence. And the moon has gifts to bestow upon those who watch.

I learned about its gifts one July evening in the mountains. My car had mysteriously stalled, and I was stranded and alone. The sun had set, and I was watching what seemed to be the bright-orange glow of a forest fire beyond a ridge to the east. Suddenly, the ridge itself seemed to burst into flame. Then, the rising moon, huge and red and grotesquely misshapen by the dust and sweat of the summer atmosphere, loomed up out of the woods. Distorted thus by the hot breath of earth, the moon seemed ill-tempered and imperfect. Dogs at nearby farmhouse barked nervously, as if this strange light had wakened evil spirits in the weeds.

But as the moon lifted off the ridge it gathered firmness and authority. Its complexion changed from red, to orange, to gold, to impassive yellow. It seemed to draw light out of the darkening earth, for as it rose, the hills and valleys below grew dimmer. By the time the moon stood clear of the horizon, full-chested and round and of the colour of ivory, the valleys were deep shadows in the landscape. The dogs, reassured that this was the familiar moon, stopped barking. And all at once I felt a confidence and joy close to laughter.

The drama took an hour. Moonrise is slow and serried with subtleties. To watch it, we must slip into an older, more patient sense of time.

To watch the moon move inflexibly higher is to find an unusual stillness within ourselves. Our imaginations become aware of the vast distance of space, the immensity of the earth and the huge improbability of our own existence. We feel small but privileged.

Moonlight shows us none of life’s harder edges. Hillsides seem silken and silvery, the oceans still and blue in its light. In moonlight we become less calculating, more drawn to our feelings.

月升魅无穷

在我家的附近有座小山， 我常在晚间爬上山去。此时，城市的喧嚣成了遥远的低语。在这黑夜的静谧中，我尽情地分享蟋蟀的欢乐，感受猫头鹰的自信。不过，我上山是来看月出的，因为这可以让我的内心重新感到被城市消耗殆尽的平静与清新。

在这座山上，我欣赏过许多次月亮升起的景象。每一次月的姿容性情都不同。秋天，满月如轮，充满自信;春天，月亮清雾迷蒙羞羞答答;冬天，银白色的月亮挂在漆黑的、悄无声息的夜空中，显得那样孤寂;夏天，桔*的月似被烟尘笼罩，俯瞰干燥的田野。每一种月亮，都像美妙的音乐，颤动我的心灵，令我的灵魂平静。

但我们这些深居室内的人，已与月亮失去了联系。城市中耀眼的街灯和污染性烟尘遮住了夜空。虽然人类已在月亮上行走过，但月亮对我们却更加陌生了。现在已很少有人能说出今晚月亮何时升起。

但无论怎样，月亮依然打动我们的心灵。

如果我们偶然遇见一轮黄灿灿的满月高高挂在空中， 我们都会禁不住抬头凝望她那高贵的仪容。而月亮会向那些注视她的人赐予厚礼。

我得到她的厚礼是在山间七月的一个夜晚。我的车突然无缘无故地熄了火，将我孤身一人困在山中，束手无策。太阳已经落山，我注视着东边山头涌起的一团桔红色的明光，好像森林起火一般。突然，山头自己也似乎燃起火焰，一会儿，一轮又大又红的月亮从树林中慢慢现出身来，夏天空气中弥漫的灰尘与湿气令它显得异常怪异。大地灼热的呼吸扭曲了它，它变得非常暴躁，不再完美。附近农舍的狗紧张地狂吠起来，因为这团奇怪的光亮叫醒了野草中的魔鬼。

然而当月亮缓缓从山头升起，它聚集了越来越多的坚定与威严;它的面孔由红色变成了桔红，又变成金色，最后成为沉静的*。它似乎吸收了正在渐渐转暗的大地的光亮，因为随着它的升起，下面的丘陵山谷变得愈来愈朦胧。等到皓月当空，满月如盘，闪烁出象牙般的清辉，山谷便成了风景中一片幽深的阴影。那些狗明白了那团光原来是他们熟悉的月亮，也安定下来，停止了吠叫。霎时间，我也觉得信心倍增，心情舒畅，几乎笑了起来。

这奇特的景观持续了一个小时。月出是缓慢而充满神奇的。观看月出，我们必须回到一种古老的、耐心的时间观念中去。观看月亮不可阻挡地升上天空，会让我们找到内心的无比安宁，我们的想象力能让我们看到宇宙的辽阔和大地的广袤，能让我们忘掉自己的存在。我们觉得自身渺小，但又深感大自然的厚待。

月色下，我们看不到生活中坚硬的棱角。山坡在月光下如同笼上了一层柔和的银纱;大海在月光下宁静碧蓝;我们在月光下也不再像白日那般心计来往，而是沉醉于自然的情感中。

“每一次都在徘徊孤单中坚强，每一次就算是受伤也不会绝望”，听着歌，望向车外，路边是大片大片的向日葵，金灿灿的，朝着太阳正笑得烂漫。

我坐在沙发上，左脚脚踝上敷着冰块，那肿得不成样的脚踝，跟包子似的。皮肤早被敷得红红的。灼灼的痛。

痛意从脚踝蔓延，像针一样一针一针地扎向心灵，浑身充满着一种无力的隐隐的酸，一阵黯然的颓丧。痛意一阵一阵地，像涌向海岸的潮水一样愈加明显，泪珠在眼中打转，已经流到眼角。一个人坐在客厅里身边没有人，我强忍泪水，不让它们滴下。

不知过了多久，爸爸回到家中，忍了很久的泪水再也制止不住，不争气的打开阀门，一泄而下，强装的坚强早已无踪无迹地溜走。爸爸走过来，坐在我身边，“不要哭，有什么好哭的，我们不是坚强的吗？”可爸爸的这番话仍不起效果，我仍旧抽咽着，人一耸一耸的。爸爸想了一会，继续说道：“还记得那片向日葵吗，风再大，雨再大，太阳一出来，仍照样对它微笑。卑微弱小的植物都这样，何况人呢？”

我抬起头，泪眼朦胧地望着爸爸。记忆倏地把我带到那片向日葵地。江南多雨，连续几月的雨季，呼啸狰狞的风，吹得它们的叶在风中飘摇着，狂卷着，然后黯然落地，风，打着黄色的花瓣，一片，一片，最后只剩下一个光秃秃地盘儿了。但它们的枝杆却一直顶着风雨，稳稳地站着。雨霁风停，太阳又现，即使只剩一个盘，也依然面对太阳，灿烂而笑。

雨大风大，向日葵从不曾流泪，痛意再一次袭来，但我却把泪收回，重拾坚强。

Talking of examinations,I feel that they are one of the important activities in school life.Since the first day I went to school,I have had to deal with them almost every day.All through my secondary school days,I have gone through al kinds of exams,entrance exams,tests,quizzes and so on. I have tasted the flavour of happiness,sadness and laughter.

Before every exam,there is always a certain time for me to suffer.The world before me seems to be sad and gloomy.I feel that all my books are disgusting.During examinations,I am always like a computer.I try hard to squeeze out every piece of information to answer my questions.A machine has no feelings,but I am nervous,my heart beats hard.

After the swesty battle,the world seems to be bright again.A disaster is over.I become lively again,and begin to discuss every problem with my classmates.

[An Experience in Examination考试感受英文作文

The Lantern Festival (元宵节) is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration.

This day is for the last moment for setting off fireworks, the last excuse for eating a big feast and the last chance for family getting together before the “年” celebrations are over. (Latern Festival is also a traditional time of celebration for foreigners who live in China).

The Lantern Festival, the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the first full moon of the year.

Celebrations and traditions on this day date back to the Western Han Dynasty.

Traditions for this festival: as the name indicates, hanging and looking at lanterns is the main tradition.

Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are displayed on trees, or along river banks.

Parents often take their children to Lantern Fairs and sometimes lucky kids even get a mini toy lantern.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. These are riddles that are hung on lanterns for people to shoot down and solve. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous.

The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous persons name, a place name or a proverb. This tradition has become a popular game with serious staying power even as social development changes other traditions.

Other than that, the most important thing to do today is to eat sweet dumplings. In northern China, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour are called “元宵” while in southern part they are called “汤圆”.

Typical sweet dumplings are filled with black sesame sauce, sweetened bean paste, or hawthorn. Making “元宵” today is like a game or an activity, so its seldom done without a reason and a group of friends or family present to help out.

在世界上到处有着几株高大挺秀的向日葵，仿佛在向太阳招手。和红红火火的玫瑰相比我更喜欢向日葵。

它的颜色是黄色的。叶子足有成年人一个巴掌大，而且十分透绿，叶子里有着许许多多细长的脉，那叫做叶脉。向日葵的根又粗又长，犹如一堆茂盛的树丛。让人觉得向日葵那么高大的原因在于向日葵粗又长的茎，茎大约有粉笔一样，长大概最少有一米多。到了春天等待向日葵结果，向日葵的果实就是我们所说的“瓜子”。但我们吃的瓜子是熟的，而向日葵的果实还没加工过，所以还是生的。这种金灿灿的植物，在我家平坦而又广阔的院子中有着三四株向日葵。当春天到来，我就迫不及待的去看望它，希望它有了新的花骨朵儿。

有一次，我院子里玩，一不小心把向日葵的“家”碰到了，我的心里十分着急又很害怕。心里不停念到：向日葵你不要出事，你是最坚强的，不要凋谢了！心仿佛被几个针刺到了一样，很难受。不一会，妈妈回来，很快拿出铲子把向日葵种回去。我幼小的心灵瞬间开放了。妈妈生气地说：“你个淘气鬼，下次没事了就不要来院子，小心又把向日葵弄坏了。”我伤心地连忙点头。

向日葵就像我的朋友，虽然不能一直陪伴我成长，但伴过一年也没什么关系。向日葵你是我见过最顽强的植物。

向日葵像一个个亭亭玉立的小女孩。向日葵的花盘圆圆的，像一个小小的太阳。在花盘四周均匀的分布着尖尖的，金黄色的花瓣。它们整齐的排列着，好像是一个大家庭聚集在一起开家庭会议呢!它的茎又细又长，高低起伏，长短不一。茎的两边还长着又宽又大的叶子，非常碧绿。一阵微风吹来，叶子随风晃动，像小孩子胖乎乎的小手正在鼓掌呢!

许许多多的向日葵，你挨着我，我挨着你，争相开放。远远望去就像一片金色的海洋。

向日葵的花盘是围绕着太阳来转动的。早晨，太阳从东方害羞的露出了笑脸，向日葵频频点头好像正在和太阳打招呼呢!中午太阳在空中散发出温暖的光芒，向日葵把头昂得高高的，开心地望着温暖的太阳。下午太阳下山时，向日葵依依不舍的跟太阳告别……

这就是我喜欢的植物——向日葵。
