God!
He even hired his cohorts from the USSR/Afghanistan days to help.
The Clinton Administration got him booted out of Sudan, and to add injury to insult, the Sundanese gub'mint confiscated his money and agricultural businesses on his way out.
Al Gore.

Thanks Blam. Jerusalem Artichokes -- generally sold as "Sunchokes" -- are actually American sunflowers, unrelated to either Jerusalem or artichokes. :') The roots (which are what is sold) are prepared similarly to potato, but are reputedly diabetic safe. The "artichoke" part of the name arose because someone thought the taste was similar to artichoke. Cut up one of those tubers and plant them (inside a grass stop, trust me), and you'll always have as many as you want. :'D |

I vote it was.... Adam.
Either him or those snappy dressing Neanderthal dudes. Sunflower goes well with duck and mango salsa.
“identify the point of domestication.”
Maybe there is no single point of origin.
“Genetic Analysis of Sunflower Domestication-... Moreover, two recent molecular studies suggest the possibility of multiple origins (S. TANG and S. J. KNAPP, unpublished data; A. V. HARTER and L. H. RIESEBERG, unpublished data).”
I wonder why they have the idea the Spanish introduced it.
Good grief, what a stupid argument! Just plant the dang things where they grow well, and no one will care where exactly the plant was first domesticated!
