Did You Know the story behind Sunflower?
According to the Greek Mythology, a water nymph, Cyltia, was so in love with the God of Sun, Apollo, that she never stopped staring up at the sun continuously, but he did not return the love. Taking pity on her, other Gods turned her into a sunflower that could always follow the path of the sun. Therefore, the sunflower has been following the sun ever since.
There! That's the reason why sunflower is always facing the sun, following the sun. It is also a natural emblem of sunshine, they are beautiful and happy flowers emanating with healing powers to uplift and inspire
"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It's what sunflowers do." - Hellen Keller
