I want to tell you that I found this mini sunflower plant when I was walking where this plant grows wild on the side of the road, the name is a wild plant for sure no one takes care of it, at that time I took my android smartphone and I took it some photos of mini sun plants. Besides taking photos of this plant, I also want to explain about mini sun plants and their health benefits.

Mini sunflowers have other names, such as in our area (Indonesia) there are those who call them the Thousand Star Flower plant. Most people think that mini sunflower plants are still in the same genus as sunflowers. But it turned out to be wrong.! the name is almost the same but different genus.
Mini sunflower belongs to the genus Aster thomsonii. If you look at the name of the genus group, they are already different, sunflower is a genus of Heliantheae.

Mini sunflowers plants can live all over the world except at the north pole and south pole which never stops from snow. However, most of these plants can live in hot areas such as deserts or semi-desert areas. so this plant is not foreign to everyone.

If you pay attention to the mini sunflowers plants, you will find a lot of them when you enter the months of October to November. And usually this plant grows in moist soil and gets a lot of sunlight. Maybe that's why people often call it "mini sunflowers." The unique thing is that this plant is immune to high temperatures and can still live even though there is no moisture. So that some people have given the nickname as "perennial plants".
