Why sunflowers are called sun flowers !!!!Sunflowers in botany are named as Helianthus annuus.Helios which means sun and anthos which means flower.Sunflowers respond to the daily cycle of the Sun because of a physiological process called heliotropism.Anatomically,due to turgor pressure of the water against the cell walls of motor cells in pulvinus,a flexible segment of the stem just below the bud,enlarge or shrink.When pressure increases on one side and decreases on the other,that stem responds by drooping or stiffening.This is why Sunflowers always face toward the Sun and hence are called Sunflowers.

Annuals flowers like Dahlia,Gazania,Pansy,Petunia,Phlox and Primulas are sensitive to sowing dates as flowering is in direct correlation to sunlight intensity and duration.This phenomenon is known as Phototropism,which means a plant’s growth response to any light
