The Blog Team have returned from the Shropshire Union Canal and a weekend in Watchet and can finally access the images that Martin has sent along the way. They have been added on the days that he sent them and his accompanying comments are in italics below each picture.
Regarding the sunflowers, the heads are all pointing the same way, which is east. While the protective petals are opening, the plant tracts the sun in 180° following the sun. It returns to east facing overnight to start the process all over again for the next day. The term for this is called heliotropism (Google it for more information).
