RE: Beautiful Sunflowers In Sunset Time

in #life6 years ago

Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus), both leaves and flowers are heliotropis, which always follows the arrival of light / sunlight. It stores the auxin hormone that regulates growth. The amount of auxin is usually more on the far side of the sun which causes sunflower stems to grow in the direction of sunlight.
