Sunflower inflorescences absorb maximum light energy if they face east and afternoons are cloudier than mornings
The mature inflorescence of sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) orients eastward after its anthesis (the flowering period, especially the maturing of the stamens), from which point it no longer tracks the Sun. Although several hypothetical explanations have been proposed for the ecological functions of t...
