Sunflower

Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are not just a symbol of joy and sunshine; they are a powerhouse of agricultural, economic, and nutritional significance. Sunflowers belong to the Asteraceae family and are native to North America. They are known for their heliotropic nature, meaning their flower heads track the sunโ€™s movement across the sky. This phenomenon, called heliotropism, is most prominent in young sunflowers.
