Sunflowers

Saturday morning we were driving south to Blairsville, and we passed this row of sunflowers. There was no place to pull over and take a picture, so I took this picture on the fly.
When we got home and I looked at the picture, I noticed that the flower heads are facing east, with their backs to us. Sunflowers are phototropic, meaning they move in response to their source of light; and heliotropic, their source of light being the sun.
I guess a better time of day to get a picture of these sunflowers is evening when they are facing west. Another day...
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
