The power of plants

“Helianthus,” the scientific name for the sunflower, comes from the Greek "helios" (sun) and "anthos" (flower) and is derived from Greek mythology. The legend tells of a young mortal called Clytia who falls in love with the god Helios and dies from love by constantly watching him. Moved by her plight, Helios turned her into a plant which tilts during the day to face the sun until it blooms.
