[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a petite variety of sunflower photographed from my backyard last summer.

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. The flowers that fill the circular head inside the ray flowers are called disc florets.

Most flowerheads on a field of blooming sunflowers are turned towards the east, where the sun rises each morning. Immature sunflowers in the bud stage exhibit heliotropism and on sunny days track the sun on its journey along the sky from east to west, while at night or at dawn they return to its eastward orientation.

The sunflower is the state flower of Kansas, and one of the city flowers of Kitakyushu, Japan. (Wikipedia).
