The bright and beautiful blooms of the sunflower embody all that is summer. So called because their golden heads follow the sun’s path across the sky each day, the sunflower is an instantly recognisable flower, with vibrant single petals arranged around a dark coloured centre made up of thousands of tiny florets. The Latin name for the flower is Helianthus which is derived from‘helios’ meaning ‘the sun’ and ‘anthos’ meaning ‘flower’. To the Incas the flower represented the sun god and its image has been found carved in their temples. Today it remains an ever popular flower with many choosing to grow different varieties in their gardens or send sunflowers as a gift to brighten someone’s day.
