Sunflower

The cheerful giant that tracks the sun across the sky/Plants

Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are one of the most recognizable plants on Earth. Young sunflowers exhibit heliotropism, tracking the sun from east to west during the day, then resetting overnight. A mature sunflower head contains up to 2,000 individual florets arranged in a precise Fibonacci spiral, because even plants are better at math than most humans. The tallest sunflower ever grown reached 9.17 meters in Germany.
