Hello Hivians!
.
Scientists reveal sunflowers
have circadian rhythm. A
young sunflower's face
follows the sun from sunrise
to sunset everyday and
repeats the cycle until
maturity. - Mature sunflowers face east.
As a result,they can attract
up to 5 times more
pollinators because they
warm up faster than westward
facing plants. - Sunflower oils can reduce
cholesterol levels in the
body. - Sunflowers have different
symbols and meanings. They
are connected to the myth;
#Apollo(God of sun) and
#Clytie,his lover. - Sunflower oil has an anti-
inflammatory effect. - There are thousands of tiny
flowers that constitute a
sunflower's head. This
feature is a primary feature
of the #Astereacea family.
Hence, sunflower is a
typical example. - Sunflowers can pollinate
themselves(self
pollination). In the absence
of agents of pollination
such as insects,the stigma
can twist around to reach
its own pollen. - Sunflowers can be cuddly in
nature such as the
#TeddyBear sunflower. - Sunflowers originally
served
as a source food thousands
of years ago.
There's so much more you need to know about sunflowers. They are just amazing.
