Sunflower Regularus Ordinarus Annuus

I watched a butterfly today. It was  large, very busy and determined to cover every white blossom on a honey drenched bush.  It completely ignored me. I will share Butterfly with you soon, but right now I want to discuss Sunflowers.

The particular sunflower under discussion is of the genus regularus ordinarus. Regularus Ordinarus has many species, including our sunflower of the common annuus species. There are 'nearly 1550 genera and 24,000 species' of sunflower*. There are so many species and genera of sunflowers that each one has its very own artist.
