Description
The wild sunflower is highly branched with small heads and small seeds, in contrast to the single-stem and large seed head of domesticated sunflower. The scientific name of sunflowers is Helianthus, Helia for sun and Anthus for flower. It is native to North America and the state flower of Kansas. A well-known sunflower characteristic is that the flowering heads track the suns movement, a phenomenon known as heliotropism.
