Painting of a scary sunflower and a girl

I remember (though, not that well) finding a painting in a book at school, and I'd love to see it again. It was strange! I think it was on a landing, maybe with stairs, and there was a young girl running away scared from this huge sunflower that was human-like. Anyone know what I mean?!

Yes, I know the one you mean, was it Dorothea Tanning? I'm going right now to look it up in my book (walks away for short while..............) Back now... Yes it is and it's called a little night music. Don't know much about the painter but I think she was married to one of the other surrealists, maybe Max Ernst and she's still alive and in her nineties.
