Girasole - turns towards the sun!

Girasole Girasole is the italian namn for the Sunflower, Helianthus annuus L., this remarkable flower. Such a pretty name I think, gira+sole and it does turn towards the sun. The stem of the flower can grow as high as 3 metres tall. Oil from the Sunflower, extracted from the seeds, is used for cooking, as a carrier oil and to produce biodiesel. In Tyra's Garden I simply enjoy there beauty and
