You know, you're right. No-one's noticed that they grow in Glorantha,
either, but they obviously do. I would tentatively suggest that any group
of Elves with a Solar bias should grow the Niven version of sunflowers on
their borders (if you haven't read Ringworld then do so.)

He may well appreciate other forms of cereal, too? I believe oats were
deemed allowable. And, I would suggest, oranges and other citrus fruit
(being round and vaguely sun-coloured). So perhaps he would enjoy a
morning bowl of muesli, using orange juice rather than milk. If you
haven't tried this, I'll tell you now: it's nice.

The alternative theory, that Yelmalio prefers sunflower seeds to all
other foods, proves beyond all doubt that Yelmalio is a hamster. A HQ to
determine the extent of his furriness will be needed to test this
hypothesis - any volunteers?
