Flowers consist of 5 crown leaves with the exception of Rosa sericea which only has 4 leaf crown. Flower color is usually white and pink or yellow and red in some species. Ovaries were at the bottom of the crown leaves and leaf sheath. Flowers produce aggregate fruit (grown from a single flower with many pistils), called rose hips. Each pistil develops into a single fruit (achene), while the collection of single-wrapped fruit pulp on the outside. Species with flowers that open wide to invite the arrival of more bees or other insects that help pollinate so tend to produce more fruit. Glorification of roses produce flowers that leaf crown closed, making it hard pollination. Some fruits are red roses with a few exceptions such as Rosa pimpinellifolia that produce fruits dark purple to black. In some species such as Rosa canina and Rosa rugosa rose hips to produce fruit that is rich in vitamin C and even among the natural sources of vitamin C the most wealthy. Rose hips fruit-eating birds like the fruit that helped spread the seeds of roses with dirt removed. Several species of birds such as finches also eat the seeds of roses. In general, roses have thorns shaped like a hook that serves as a grip when climbing other plants. Some species that grows wild in sandy soil in coastal areas such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia adapt to a straight razor like a needle that may serve to reduce the damage caused by animals eating, holding sand in the wind and protect the roots from erosion. Although already protected by thorns, deer do not seem afraid and often damage the roses. Some species of roses have thorns that are not developed and not sharp. Roses can be plagued with several diseases such as leaf rust which is the most serious diseases. The reason is Phragmidium mucronatum fungus that causes leaf loss. The disease is not so dangerous as Wheat mildew fungus Sphaerotheca pannosa caused, while the disease black spots marked the emergence of black spots on leaves caused by fungi Diplocarpon rosae. Roses also a food for the larvae of some Lepidoptera species.

SunFlowers
Sunflowers in the bud stage exhibit heliotropism. At sunrise, the faces of most sunflowers are turned towards the east. Over the course of the day, they follow the sun from east to west, while at night they return to an eastward orientation. This motion is performed by motor cells in the pulvinus, a flexible segment of the stem just below the bud. As the bud stage ends, the stem stiffens and the blooming stage is reached. Sunflowers in their blooming stage lose their heliotropic capacity. The stem becomes "frozen", typically in an eastward orientation.[citation needed] The stem and leaves lose their green color. The wild sunflower typically does not turn toward the sun; its flowering heads may face many directions when mature. However, the leaves typically exhibit some heliotropism. Growing near Fargo, North Dakota.
The sunflower is native to the Americas. The evidence thus far is that it was first domesticated in Mexico, by at least 2600 BC.[7] It may have been domesticated a second time in the middle Mississippi Valley, or been introduced there from Mexico at an early date, as maize was. The earliest known examples of a fully domesticated sunflower north of Mexico have been found in Tennessee and date to around 2300 BC. Many indigenous American peoples used the sunflower as the symbol of their solar deity, including the Aztecs and the Otomi of Mexico and the Incas in South America. Francisco Pizarro was the first European to encounter the sunflower in Tahuantinsuyo, Peru. Gold images of the flower, as well as seeds, were taken back to Spain early in the 16th century. Some researchers argue that the Spaniards tried to suppress cultivation of the sunflower because of its association with solar religion and warfare.[8] During the 18th century, the use of sunflower oil became very popular in Europe, particularly with members of the Russian Orthodox Church because sunflower oil was one of the few oils that was not prohibited during Lent.
History Greenhouse
The first modern greenhouses were built in Italy in the thirteenth century[7] to house the exotic plants that explorers brought back from the tropics. They were originally called giardini botanici (botanical gardens). The concept of greenhouses soon spread to the Netherlands and then England, along with the plants. Some of these early attempts required enormous amounts of work to close up at night or to winterize. There were serious problems with providing adequate and balanced heat in these early greenhouses.
Charles Lucien Bonaparte, a French botanist, is often credited[who?] with building the first practical modern greenhouse in Leiden, Holland to grow medicinal tropical plants.[citation needed]
Originally on the estates of the rich, with the growth of the science of botany greenhouses spread to the universities. The French called their first greenhouses orangeries, since they were used to protect orange trees from freezing. As pineapples became popular pineries, or pineapple pits, were built. Experimentation with the design of greenhouses continued during the Seventeenth Century in Europe as technology produced better glass and construction techniques improved. The greenhouse at the Palace of Versailles was an example of their size and elaborateness; it was more than 500 feet long, 42 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
In the nineteenth Century the largest greenhouses were built. The conservatory at Kew Gardens in England is a prime example of the Victorian greenhouse. Although intended for both horticultural and non-horticultural exhibition these included London's Crystal Palace, the New York Crystal Palace and Munich’s Glaspalast. Joseph Paxton, who had experimented with glass and iron in the creation of large greenhouses as the head gardener at Chatsworth, in Derbyshire, working for the Duke of Devonshire, designed and built the first, London's Crystal Palace. A major architectural achievement in monumental greenhouse building were the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken (1874-1895) for King Leopold II of Belgium.
In Japan, the first greenhouse was built in 1880 by Samuel Cocking, a British merchant who exported herbs.
In the Twentieth Century the geodesic dome was added to the many types of greenhouses. A notable example is the Eden Project, in Cornwall.
