The power of plants
The scientific name for the sunflower, "Helianthus", comes from the Greek "helios" (sun) and "anthos" (flower) and is derived from a legend of Greek mythology. The legend tells of a young mortal called Clytia who falls in love with the god Helios and dies from love by constantly watching him. Moved by her plight, Helios turns her into a plant which tilts during the day to face the sun, until it blooms.
