Those minor discrepancies can be attributable to an artist drawing the sunflower from memory rather than having it in front of him at the time of drawing. The fact remains that the inner flower of this single-flower plant, its stem, leaves, and root (as seen on f93r) all resemble those of the sunflower whereas the multiple flowers and crazy roots seen on the other hundred or so plants depicted in the VMS generally do not resemble the sunflower even remotely. This strongly suggests that the VMS artist did in fact see a real sunflower at some point in his or her life.
