imageNo one denies that the sunflower is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world. Seeing it alone seemed to get positive energy. However, it turns out besides beautiful, sunflower also has some unique facts that are rarely known, curious? imagesunflower is used as a source of food by Native Americans. In addition, the oil can also soften the skin, improve hair condition, and treat wounds. imageAnd do you realize even though it looks like a pretty big flower, in fact it also has hundreds of small flowers called floret? Floret is above the stem, commonly referred to as the head of the flower. image The yellow petals will help the leaves to cover the head until the floret finishes well. The sunflower center itself is located where hundreds of these florets develop, grow individually, and will grow into other sunflowers if planted and cared for properly.
Sunflowers belong to the genus Helianthus annus. In Greek, Helios means sun, while annus itself is a flower. Not only that, sunflower is also the only flower in the world whose direction is looking for the position of the sun in the sky. imageIn the future, does not rule out that oil from sunflower can also be used as an alternative fuel.
