Description
This sunflower was taken at dusk in front of a one of our trees outdoors that we have small lights on. The Bokek came out so cool in the background with circles of light, I decided to enhance this image with textures for a bit of an abstract effect, yet the sunflower is predominant. I printed this one to see the effect and really liked it. Hope you do too.
The botanical name is Helianthus. The Greek word �helios� means sun and �anthos� means flower. It is aptly named after the sun which it resembles. Sunflowers have a large flower head, usually with a large, almost black central part which is made up of thousands of tiny florets that later become seeds set in a spiral pattern. The petals are typically bright yellow, although some varieties are orange or red. Its stem is rough and hairy while the leaves large and rough with coarse jagged edges. Sunflowers typically grow to between one and a half and three and a half metres, with some giant variants reaching up to eight metres.
