A wild Sunflower, Helianthus annuus, sprang up in my garden. This page displays the journel I kept with a camera - the pictures show the floret developing from bract and bud to edible seeds. One sees the corolla, the androecium, the style, the pollen and the stigma-surfaces. This is a member of the Asteraceae, tribe Heliantheae.
