When I say wildflowers I mean the kind that live in the wild forever, no man ever take care of them, they grow from the ground or mud.

Well all plants require plenty sunlight (and strong stem) if they are to be tall. In forest environment, the taller trees block most of the sunlight from the flowering plants (which have rather weaker stem, so are short firsthand), so are somewhat shortened than in the house where they are much cared and left with plenty of sunlight.

Are you speaking about the same wildflower in the wild compared to the same flower in the home garden? For one thing, most flowers were wild at one time.But they've been changed a bit to make them easyer to care for. Hybridized is the word.

Because they do not need to be tall to survive. They just need to produce seed and propagate. Competition with other plants means that they will do this efficiently, without wasting energy and nutrients by being tall and pretty.
