I get suspicious when I see them. No plant should move!!. what are they planning?

1. I think of the Pokemon, Sunflora, charging up a powerful solar beam.
2. They remind me of being a child and how fantastical it would have been to run through a field of them.
3. I feel a ever so slight aversion to them as if I'm paranoid that they could be planning something diabolical.Comment Hidden ( show ) -

I'm probably in the minority here but I find sunflowers to be kind of creepy. I have a hatred of clusters of bumpy objects (I have chicken pox to thank for that), so it makes me cringe when I see those big ol' sunflowers with all the clusters of seeds on the inside... *shudders*

I like flowers for their looks, and Sunflowers probably wouldn't even make my top 10, although I couldn't name a top 10, I know there are plenty out there that I find much more beautiful.

I don't see them very often; I can't even remember the last time I saw one actually. I do like them, but there's something weird about them that I can't describe very well:P. They remind me of this perfume I got from my Nana when I was a kid, which smelt nice and strange at the same time. And they remind me of southern states in the US, not really sure why. And really old books with brown pages. Haha, I don't know. They're strange! Never eaten one before, though:S.

Well there's like 80 different varieties of sunflowers. I like the ones with oranges and reds the best.

Happy childhood memories. We had sun flower yellow walls in the dining room. Oh how I miss Mum's hot cooked meals.
Now when I think of Sunflower, I think of alternative fuel for cars.

There is a kind of driver which is growth. If you look at a sunflower there is a narrow neck which is growing, and it is in this narrow neck where most of the cell expansion, and therefore most of the expansion of the stem takes place. And this takes place at different rates on different sides of the stem. So in the morning most of this growth is on the west side of the stem so the flower tilts to the east, and later on in the day you get stronger and faster growth on the north side, so the flower becomes tilted and so on until the evening when it ends up facing west. At night the growth is corrected and you have a great deal of growth on the west side so at the beginning of the day it is facing east. That patten is probably driven by some kind of internal clock which is set by the transition at the end of the day from light to dark, which then starts the whole process of west side growth in the flower.

I didn't reply to you. I was telling everybody to only comment about sunflowers.
