I am seeing an influx of anecdotal accounts of peoples sunflowers 🌻 all facing south or south east. It seems people are reporting this all over the country. I dont have anyone close to me speaking to this. Any truth to it?

Here in Southeast Michigan at the end of August, the leaves are changing color. I have even seen some trees that have lost all their leaves. I began noticing this about a month ago when the trees at the edges of the woods started getting some color. This is a full 6 weeks early. The burning bushes are already red. This doesnt happen until the last week in September or 1st week of October. We are at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead of a normal fall leaf schedule.
Meanwhile, the golden rod seems on schedule, the sumac and ivy havent gone red in the woods yet and the shrubs, besides the burning bushes, are still green. Shrubs usually go before the tree leaves and sumac and ivy change just as the leaves get first color.
They are fucking with our climate in a big way.
I'm in Oz. I noticed summer turned to autumn early here too. It's winter at present and here we've had f all rain.
