Sunflower is a seasonal plant of the popular kenikir-kenikir tribe, both as an ornamental plant and oil-producing plants. This plant flower is very distinctive large, usually bright yellow, with a large flower diameter head can reach thirty centimeters.
This flower is actually a compound interest, composed of hundreds to thousands of small flowers on one bump. Sunflower also has a typical behavior, ie the flowers are always facing toward the sun. The French call it tournesol or sun travelers. However, this trait is removed in new cultivars for oil production because it consumes a lot of energy and reduces yield.
