The sunflower is a flower of the Asteraceae family. Its name comes from its large, flowering head, which makes it appear like the sun. There are two main types of sunflower florets — ray flowers and disk flowers. Ray flowers produce large flowering heads, and disk flowers have tightly packed florets of flowers found in the center of the flowering head. In our post, you’ll find both kinds and more.
