Sunflowers have always been so fascinating, haven’t they? Bright big faces of ever-brilliant joy! Let’s take this moment to appreciate this dazzling flower with sunflower quotes!
Sunflowers are hopeful, positive, and inherently inspiring. The most curious part about them is how they follow the sun! That’s just pure magic!
I read this post to understand why they do so and apparently “when the sun starts moving from east to west in the sky, the east side of the stem of a sunflower plant grows MORE rapidly than the west side. Due to this unequal growth on either side, the flower tends to bend in the direction of the sun.” How weird!
To me, it feels like the work of fairies. Whatever the reason, sunflowers hold the charm of being strong and resilient each day of their lives. We can’t help but feel the power of their meaning. They are one of my favorite flowers. I have a round chubby face and my father often says that I look like a sunflower 🌻🌻🌻🌻. Such a sweet thing!
So, without further ado, let’s dive into the choicest sunflower quotes that will grow your love for this magnificent bloom and bring some sunny cheer to our day.
