the sunflower is amazing

in flowers •  7 years ago 

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an annual plant of the popular kenikir-kenikiran (Asteraceae) tribe, both as hiasm plants and oil-producing plants. This plant flower is very distinctive: large, usually bright yellow, with a large flower head (diameter can reach 30 cm).







This flower is actually a compound interest, composed of hundreds to thousands of small flowers on one bump. Sunflower also has a typical behavior, the flowers are always facing / leaning toward the sun or heliotropisme. The French call it tournesolatau "pengelana Matahari". However, this trait is removed in new cultivars for oil production because it consumes a lot of energy and reduces yield.
