Hi Everybody,
This is my 100th post here on TL and I hope you like it:)
Cheers and Have a Great Day,
Chris Tolga

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant in the family Asteraceae, with a large flower head (inflorescence). The stem of the flower can grow up to 3 metres tall, with the flower head reaching 30cm in diameter. The term "sunflower" is also used to refer to all plants of the genus Helianthus, many of which are perennial plants.

Description:
What is usually called the flower is actually a head (formerly composite flower) of numerous flowers crowded together. The outer flowers are the ray florets and can be yellow, maroon, orange, or other colors. These flowers are sterile. The flowers that fill the circular head inside the ray flowers are called disc florets.
The arrangement of florets within this cluster is typically such that each is separated from the next by approximately the golden angle, producing a pattern of spirals where the number of left spirals and the number of right spirals are successive Fibonacci numbers. Typically, there are 34 spirals in one direction and 55 in the other; on a very large sunflower you may see 89 in one direction and 144 in the other.

The disc florets mature into what are normally called "sunflower seeds", actually the fruit (an achene) of the plant, with the true seeds encased in an inedible husk.

Greek myth:
In Greek mythology, a girl named Clytie fell in love with the sun god Apollo, and would do nothing but watch his chariot move across the sky. After nine days, she was transformed into a sunflower. However, the word "sunflower" and its cognates existed long before Helianthus annuus was brought to Europe, and it is thought that the myth (which is mentioned in Ovid's poem Metamorphoses) actually refers to heliotrope or marigold.

très belle 100e image, supermbement composée !
Bravo.
Marie

CONGRATULATIONS, a very sunny image, thanx for all the beauty, M, (*_*)

MY favorite flower! The Sunflower! I love the brightness of the yellow on the sunflower and you sure presented it very well in this picture! I love how you chose not to include the whole sunflower and leaving us to imagine the full picture. Is that a small bug i see under one of its petals? Good call! Or maybe good moment! I love the blend of blue and green as your background with a bright yellow subject. Great use of colors as compliments! :)
Sharpness and details are superb.
Congrats on the 100th posts!

Hello CT,
