Did you know...

The sunflower is not a flower! 🌻 Its petals are actually ray flowers and are made up of multiple petals fused together. Ray petals are usually yellow but can sometimes be red or orange.
The number of petals of a sunflower plant is determined on its size. A sunflower has between 34 and 89 petals. Now, look inside the "flower" more closely. Look into what you once thought was the flower and is actually a lot of tiny "flowers". Many... Many... Beautiful and delicate in an alignment beyond harmonic (the geometry of nature). What you thought was a flower, is actually an outline that holds hundreds and hundreds of flowers... The ray florets of sunflower are known as neuters because it consists neither male or female parts in the flower. If the flower contains any of the small strap-shaped flowers in the head of certain composite plants, such as the daisy is called Ray floret.
And if we look at it with the eyes of gardeners, we will realize that each little flower holds within itself, in this golden dust, countless fields of sunflowers.
In biology, this is called an infloration. 🌻
