Description
Sunflower, which ever way you look at them, they are always about brilliance & abundance.
"Helianthus or sunflowers is a genus of plants comprising about 70 species[3] in the family Asteraceae, all of which are native to North America except three species in South America. The common name "sunflower" also applies to the popular annual species Helianthus annuus, the common sunflower..
The domesticated sunflower, H. annuus, is the most familiar species. Perennial sunflower species are not as popular for gardens due to their tendency to spread rapidly and become invasive. Whorled sunflowers, H. verticillatus, were listed as an endangered species in 2014 when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a final rule protecting it under the Endangered Species Act. The primary threats are industrial forestry and pine plantations in Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. They grow to six feet tall and are primarily found in woodlands, adjacent to creeks and moist, prairie-like areas." WIKI
