Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is one of the most prominent flowers of the Asteraceae family that is native to the North American Tropical (Mexico) and widespread in California. This flower is real single flower which always faces or follow the sun called heliotropisme. Consequently, it is called sunflower while the French calls it tournesol or the sun follower.
Sunflower possesses a large flower cluster (flowering head). In the Asteraceae family, what is usually called the flower is actually a head (composite flower) of numerous florets (small flowers) crowded together. The outer florets are the ray florets (sterile). In Sunflower these can be yellow, maroon, or orange. The florets inside the circular head are called disc florets, which mature into edible seeds. In Sunflower the disc florets are brown.
The plant can become quite large and the flower heads are large, up to 8 inch in diameter and 3 m to 5 m high. This plant is most often seen in disturbed areas such as road shoulders, edges of farm fields, and vacant lots. However, it can also be a spectacular performer in the garden if given plenty of room, direct sun, and normal garden watering.
