At first what I missed most were Los girasoles, my tall, unruly friends with their bright yellow petals and dark brown faces.
Each green blade stands upright like a tiny soldier.

What is an annotation?

An annotation may be defined as a way of representing any comment or explanation in a more precise manner.

The complete question is as follows:

Quotes from the Text are as follows:

the lawns looked well behaved and boring. The grass grew obediently
each green blade standing upright like a tiny soldier.
At first what I missed most were Los girasoles, my tall, unruly friends with their bright yellow petals and dark brown faces

Here, the mood of the speaker feels like missing and in a state of restriction. That's why a speaker uses the word "missed" in the first part and "blade or tiny" in the second part of the answer.

The voice of the speaker remains the same throughout the passage and uses some unconscious words during the excerpt.

Therefore, it is well described above.
