~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant in the Family Asteraceae with a large flower head (inflorescence). The stem of the flower can grow up to 3 metres tall, with the flower head reaching 30cm in diameter. The sunflower is notable for turning to face the Sun, a behavior known as heliotropism. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Sunflowers are native to the Americas, and were domesticated around 1000 B.C. Francisco Pizarro found the Inca subjects venerating the sunflower as an image of their sun god, and gold images of the "flower" as well as seeds were taken back to Europe early in the 16th century. Helianthus is from the Greek for "sunflower". In French, they are called "tournesol", and in Italian, "girasole".
