8.21.15 I've been watching the large and small Sunflowers here, and that amazing way they

"Look! Over there ! " ( the blossoms so seem like faces)


I've been watching the large and small Sunflowers here, and that amazing way they move so much during the day . The native bees busily doing what they do , which in perfect synergy ,pollinates all the female and male parts of each plant. 

The Fibbonaci spiral enables many things in nature, here for the most seeds to form per Sunflower. 

And why/how do they move with the sun more than most plants ? Well ...

"During the day, the stems elongate on the side away from the sun, tilting leaves and immature flowers toward the sun throughout the day and ending up facing west at sunset. When there's no light (so...night time), the other side of the stem grows, pushing the leaves and flowers back to the east where they will be facing the sun at sunrise."
