What factors are likely to determine whether a specific plant species bothers to be heliotropic (i.e. track the Sun in its daily East-to-West passage)? For example, the Alpine Buttercup and the Sunflower do, but blades of grass seem to lie at random although, being all leaf, they would seem to have most to gain.
(This question prompted by an ironic Anonymous reply to the question on lime and lemon buoyancy "I think I'll go watch some grass grow now and speculate with friends about why the blades face this way or that", which itself leads to 2 comments: (a) I'm not the one posting to TLW at 03:40; and (b) Since when does TLW accept anonymous postings?)
