The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant in the family Asteraceae, with a large flower head (inflorescence). The stem of the flower can grow up to 3 metres tall, with the flower head reaching 30cm in diameter. The term "sunflower" is also used to refer to all plants of the genus Helianthus, many of which are perennial plants.

Description

---

What is usually called the flower is actually a head (formerly composite flower) of numerous flowers crowded together. The outer flowers are the ray florets and can be yellow, maroon, orange, or other colors. These flowers are sterile. The flowers that fill the circular head inside the ray flowers are called disc florets.

@Tuckertown Like TJ's as well. Cool stuff, reasonable prices. Whole Foods & TJ's are a pretty far drive for me; Sunflower biking distance.

@Tuckertown I find soy milk works perfectly; coconut cream works well too. Good vegan egg & butter substitutes available at Sunflower.
