Botanical description:In botany, a flower is regarded as a modified stem with shortened internodes and bearing, at its nodes, structures that may be highly modified leaves. In essence, a flower structure forms on a modified shoot or axis with an apical meristem that does not grow continuously (growth is determinate). Flower god: The natives of the Inca Empire in Peru were seen worshiping a giant sunflower by Francisco Pizarro in 1532.
