The heart that has truly loved never forgets,

But loves as truly on to the close,

As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets,

The same look which she turned as he rose.

The technical name for sunflowers is girosole, coming from italian "girare" - to rotate and "sole" - sun. So the are basically named "sun followers" or "rotates with the sun" due to their nature of rotating to face the sun as it travels across the sky.

I live where thousands of acres of sunflowers are grown, mostly the small black variety for sunflower oil and birdseed. Last year I noticed several fields that did not exhibit this behavior. I wondered at the time if the seed companies had bred this characteristic out of some varieties, and why.

By the time I hit 10, I figured it was just a story, like the Easter bunny. When I got older, I realized pagans have some ridiculous beliefs.

The one about bees disappearing a few years back would be a good example. Which I knew was bullshit, ironically, because I always have sunflowers in my flower gardens, which always attract a wide variety of bees.

All plants do. The blades of grass leans to inclination of the sun.
