You must have seen many different flowers till now. Also, you must have heard about their specialty, but have you ever heard of any such flower, which keeps moving from one direction to another every day. If not, then tell us that we are talking about the sunflower flower. Do you know why sunflower flowers are facing the direction of the sun? What is the reason that in which direction the sun keeps going, sunflower flowers also move in the same direction? If you do not know the answers to all these questions, then it does not matter, today we will tell you in detail about the secrets related to all these questions.
Sunflower’s direction changes with the direction of the sun
Let us tell you that the sunflower flower is more active in summer than in winter. The growth of these flowers is more in areas where sunlight comes out for more than 6 hours. Let us tell you that sunflower flowers develop very fast only in hot and scorching heat. When the sun rises from the east direction since morning, then the direction of the mouth of this flower is also towards east. At the same time, gradually along with the direction of the Sun, their direction also keeps changing. The new sunflower flowers move more in the direction of the sun than the old flowers.
That’s why sunflowers are facing in the direction of the sun.
Actually, the most important reason behind this happening is helio tropism. Scientists say that this happens due to helio tropism and under this process sunflower flowers are facing towards the sun. Let us tell that along with the direction of the sun, the direction of these flowers turns towards the west in the evening. However, during the night, they again change their direction to the east and wait for the sun to rise the next day. This process goes on continuously. Now the question arises that what would be the helio tropism, due to which sunflower flowers move towards the direction of the sun.
Research found this big thing
Explain that just as humans have a biological clock, similarly sunflower flowers also have a special arrangement, which is known as helio tropism. It detects the rays of the sun and induces the flower to bend towards the side where the sun is. In a research, it was also found that these flowers rest during the night and become active as soon as they get sunlight during the day. As the sunlight increases, in the same way the activity of sunflower flowers also increases. This whole process is possible only due to helio tropism, due to which the face of the sunflower flower is always in the direction of the sun.
