I'll be honest. I'm not sure what the reasoning is behind the conspiracy. I just know that people have been saying the sunflowers aren't following the sun anymore. These are my wife's sunflowers she planted new this year. They're young flowers as she planted them late this year. I took this picture at 6 this afternoon. The flowers are facing east. The sun can be seen behind them. I don't know what this means. I don't know why they're not following the sun. I don't know why I find this interesting. Thought you all might enjoy it though.

Excess heat causes the stem to become woody quicker, which keeps the plants from moving as much as they do when they are younger.
It has also been unseasonably warm across a lot of the US this summer.
It’s still winter in the southern hemisphere so I can’t test it yet, but I will.
I find it interesting that a lot of what people are saying about the sun seeming ‘different’ matches with how it has always been where I live. It’s notable as where I live is where the hole in the ozone layer is, so it could be that there is something going on with that they haven’t made public.
