Description
This vivid red and yellow sunflower is of the variety Autumn Beauty, scientific name Helianthus Annuus. The variety Autumn Beauty is know for a wide variations of vivid petal colors, from brilliant yellow to dark red. The seeds are rather famous for their beautiful spiral, a natural expression of the Fibonacci sequence in mathematics. If there is a primary floral icon for a sunburst, this is it! The flower needs lots of sun, and its seeds are a favorite of goldfinches. I like the red tinted ones, just for variety. This flower was photographed in my own garden, with cardinal vine in the background.
