Query Execution from Sunflower Console
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Queries can also be executed from the **Sunflower Console** plugin. In this plugin window, one interacts with Flora directly using Flora style statements. For example, to execute the query ’Who are Bettys siblings?’, click the **Sunflower Console** tab to launch the plugin.  Then at the Flora prompt ?-, type:

.. code-block:: flora

   ?- Betty [sibling -> ?Sibling].

This is shown in :numref:`figure-Queries-sunflower-console-input.png`.  Press the Enter key on the keyboard to start the query execution.
