Sunflower Symbolism

Sunflowers are symbolic of adoration. Sunflowers turn their heads to the sun, which is the origin of their common name. They belong to the genus helianthus, a reference to Helios, the sun god. In the United States, sunflowers are found in the midwest prairies as well as roadsides. They generally grow in scrub land and dry areas. Sunflowers are native to the Americas and are the state flower of Kansas and the national flower of Russia. They bloom from July through September and are traditionally bright yellow with a central disk or reddish brown. A little excerpt from a poem by Thomas Moore:

...the heart that has truly loved never forgets,

But as truly loves on to the close,

As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets,

The same look which she turned when he rose

Some Interesting Facts About Sunflowers

Wild sunflowers have multiple stems and more than one head, with the heads or flowers usually being smaller than what we are accustomed to seeing. Modern sunflowers have been bred to have a single stem and one large flower. The largest sunflower head ever recorded was 34 1/2 inches across, grown by Emily Martin of Maple Ridge, Canada in 1983 (Source: Guinness Book of World Records).

Sunflowers stand so tall, straight and strong. They show humility to life by the way they hang they're heads. People who carry Sunflower energy can be very strong and faithful. They carry they're heads high and walk tall and proud of who they are but always gentle and tolerant of others. If Sunflower energy walks into your life, study all you can about its meaning. Blessings......
