I was under the impression that sunflowers followed the sun, with their

I have one in the front garden which totally ignores the sun and seems to
look in the other direction!

Is this normal?


Maybe it is shy or just afraid of getting sunburned? Did you remember to
rub the petals with sunscreen? :-)
