Diana; heliotropism; I wonder if this is because they reorient themselves by Solar gravity, or vegtable memory (don't laugh!) ?

Gorgeous! One of our local Farm Markets grows a whole field of sunflowers now, and people come from far & wide to gaze upon their loveliness and take pictures of their kids.

It's gotten to be QUITE the 'thing' around here. I always have sunflowers in the garden - usually 'volunteers; from the previous year, but I always have to have my 'Soroya' variety. AAS winner, low pollen so they make a nice cut flower without the mess. :)
