Sunflower

Tall, strong and sturdy, even in the strongest winds , yet they are delicate because of the blossoms that bloom on the tall giant. This tall giant is a mystery, so strong yet so weak , like a spiders web, with the very thin layers of thread tying the web together, it can hold against pounds of liquid pouring on it but not the swipe of a persons hand, lightly touching it. There are so many mysteries like this in nature. I wonder if we will ever understand the greatness and the very fragileness of nature itself. I hope one day to find out at least the reason why the giant sunflower can stand so high in the air and not fall because the only thing holding it up is a one and a half inch around stem. I hope some day It be shown but for now it will be a mystery.
