What is the meaning of Sunflowers?
Sunflowers bloom during the summer, but can extend their lifespan until the beginning of winter. They symbolise loyalty, adoration and longevity. The meaning of sunflowers is strongly attached to their own name and, therefore, to the sun.
Sunflowers are unique and have the ability to energise through their vibrant colours. Just like the sun, these flowers transmit heat and light to the environment they are in.
They also represent adoration and loyalty in different religions, due to their resemblance with the sun, which is associated with spiritual comprehension and the search for light and truth. The Incas used these flowers as a symbol for the sun god (Inti), and also to decorate their temples.

What is the story of Sunflowers?

Their seeds can be eaten toasted and have several nutrients such as proteins, fibres, vitamin E, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, among others. In addition to most of the complex B vitamins.
With the European explorations of the New World, the popularity of the sunflower spread and this flower began to be appreciated for its beauty and nutritional value throughout the world.
Sunflowers in the Art World!
Various artists throughout history have depicted the sunflower, especially those of the Expressionism Era. Sunflowers became famous in the Art world mostly because of Van Gogh painting, made in 1888.
Wild sunflowers are frequently photographed. Their behaviour regarding the sunlight is quite fascinating. They turn their face towards the sun, following it as the day goes by. This behaviour is called phototropism.
Nowadays, sunflowers are known and admired worldwide for their solar charm. Its seeds are still used for nourishment, like the oil extracted from them. It is a flower that matches all of the sun’s positive characteristics, therefore it is no surprise that people choose sunflowers as a present and to brighten their homes.
