A genus of sun-loving flowering plants in the daisy family, commonly called oxeye sunflowers or false sunflowers.
From Greek helios (sun) + -opsis (appearance or looking, from opsis meaning 'sight'). The name references how these plants look toward the sun.
Heliopsis flowers are brilliant yellow and designed like satellite dishes—they reflect and concentrate sunlight in the center, which makes the flower warmer and more attractive to pollinating bees seeking warmth on cool mornings!
