English term

teddy bear sunflower

English to French Science Botany common term for variety of sunflower
I teach in a French immersion school and my second graders had a presentation (in English) on plants, during which they planted teddy bear sunflower seeds (Latin: Helianthus annus). I'm trying to find the everyday name for this variety of sunflower in French.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

À ne pas confrondre avec le Professeur Tournesol.
Peer comment(s):

neutral FX Fraipont (X) : et bien non, pas "tout simplement" - Il s'agit d'un cultivar tout à fait spécifique, avec des fleurs à pompons

tournesol pompon

Peut-être préférable si l'on veut donner une idée de l'allure de ce tournesol, plutôt que d'en donner la marque (certainement déposée).

Au pluriel "des tournesols pompon".
Peer comment(s):

agree Jocelyne Cuenin : En effet, c'est plus parlant, et je pense que c'est adapté aux enfants. Je dirais même des PETITS tournesols "pompons", car il semble que ces Teddy Bear ne soient pas très hauts.

Merci beaucoup, mais attention, pompon est invariable dans ce cas ! Des tournesols pompon.
