At least with You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. i can see where the idea comes from.
The flower on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has a large, round, flat head which looks like it would turn to face the sun for nourishment. I did not originate the idea that it is a sunflower.
The flower on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. was, many years ago, widely accepted as being a sunflower. In fact, back in the early days of VMS research (pre-radio carbon days), scholars who had dated the VMS to the 15th century or earlier were suddenly forced to change their mind.
Have you found a plant native to Europe that resembles the sunflower? If so, please point me to a picture of it.
