I was under the impression that sunflowers followed the sun, with their
heads turning so they were always looking at the sun.

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

Is this normal?

Now I know this is absolutely how NOTt to spell it .. but ... in
France they are called something like Turneysol ... they turn to the
sun.

I think yours is happy picking up the light reflection off the wall.
