Clytie

Clytie was in love with Apollo, who didn't love him back. She spent all day staring at his carriage, the sun, as it passed over in the heavens. The gods turned her into a sunflower whose face always pointed to the sun.

I sort of liked this myth, because it's a good way to explain how flowers came to be, although I can't help but think that poor Clytie must've been blind by the time she died. All that staring at the sun can't be good for your eyes.
