Hello Friends,

This is another Sunflower photo and I hope you like it:)
Cheers and Have a Great Weekend,

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.

This one is the most crytal clear and beautiful shot of a flower I have seen in a long long time Chris. The macro has been superbly composed with the colours and features so starkly clear that one can almost feel the petals and smell them. Great work of art. Very well done.

Hi Chris, wonderful sunflower, great sharpness, very well done, have a nice week end, ciao Silvio

Chris,
So brilliantly have you captured this sunflower that it takes on the feeling of art. Such a subtle blue background works wonders with the vibrantly coloured and detailed flower in the foreground. Excellent photo. Cheers, Todd.
