I always figured that sunflowers had, like, a spring in them.  Their
'natural' direction is to point to the rising sun and during the day
they follow the sun, winding up the spring.  Come the fall of night,
the sun goes away and ZZZRRRRRRRRT!  The spring unwinds and ready for
the next day.  Someday I will take one apart and show you the spring.
