hello hello!! i return with more sunflower fun facts because they are wonderful flowers and i adore them (and the lovely kinich sunflower piece you wrote gives me a perfect excuse)!! did you know that a sunflower head (the thing that we usually consider to be the singular flower) is actually a collection of many smaller five-petaled flowers? the parts of the sunflower that look like petals are actually the flowers themselves! i learned that one earlier this year, and it still is absolutely fascinating to me.
I DIDNT KNOW THAT?? THATS SO INTERESTING
i looked into it and that's so cool omg,,, i had no idea sunflowers were pseudanthiums (pseudo-anthiums, it means fake flower! learned that term while looking into all this hehe) that is actually so neat,,, so instead of one big flower at the head its a bunch of smaller ones making up a collective!! i genuinely never would've guessed that! that's so fun!! i guess i've never actually looked close enough at a sunflower irl omg ;; thank u sm for this little fact i have loved learning this it threw me for a complete loop!
