Sunflowers exhibit heliotropism, meaning young plants follow the sun from east to west during the day and reset at night to face east again by morning.

While young sunflowers exhibit heliotropism (following the sun throughout the day,) mature flowers typically stay facing east- but at our farm they face south because the east is blocked by trees. 🌱

Fun fact: sunflowers actually turn to follow the sun across the sky, a process called heliotropism 🌻 Young flowers do this daily until they mature and eventually face east permanently. Nature is wild! #PlantFacts #GardeningTips 🇭🇲 🌱

🤓 The gardening word of the day is [Heliotropism]:
The tendency of some plants to follow the sun throughout the day, most commonly seens in young sunflowers.

Now down a rabbit hole about heliotropism, which is not covered in this book (he calls it circumnutation, which sunflower seedlings do, but movement of the flower head is a different phenomenon). #IAmWriting
This is the book, a little late for the deadline on my birdseed article, but enjoyable. It does cover all the Asteraceae, not just Helianthus––that might be a little "this could have been an article" padding, but I ain't mad. reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/sunflow...

Sunflowers are my absolute favorite flower.
I have several sunflowers tattooed on my right arm.
Young sunflowers face toward the sun (heliotropism).
Keep looking for the sun, keep growing.

I wondered why they had their backs to the sun. I’ve since learnt … young 🌻 actively follow the sun as they grow then maintain a fixed orientation as they mature (Heliotropism).

For the first time, #marine animals have been found to exhibit #heliotropism – a behaviour previously seen only in plants. Researchers from the MBA discovered that snakelocks #anemones track the sun by pointing their tentacles towards it, while staying in one place.

Sea anemones track the suns position?! 🤯 So thrilled to share our paper is finally published in @J_Exp_Biol! 🎉
Congrats to my student leads Eliska Lintnerova and Callum Shawn.
