Sunflowers are known to be a symbol of faithfulness and worship. Loyalty. Their scientific name Helianthus where helios means sun and anthos meaning flower.
This yellow sun that tends to grow in the ground also, moves along the direction of the real sun we see up in the sky.
Looks like both the suns we know have a special connection with one another. It’s interesting, right?
For a lot of people, the sunflower holds great value. It spreads joy in its own manner.
According to Vincent Van Gogh, the famous artist of The Starry Night and Sunflowers collection, he believed that the sunflower communicates “gratitude”.
Sunflowers brought him comfort and a sense of familiarity.
