I didn’t think I liked sunflowers, until one planted itself in my garden. Now I think they are the perfect embodiment of August.
Sunflowers are about hopefulness and positivity.
Even on cloudy days, sunflowers follow the sun.
The morning glories and the sunflowers turn naturally toward the light,
but we have to be taught, it seems.
Martin Firrel
Sunflowers are always smiling.
Advice from a Sunflower
Be bright, sunny and positive.
Know your roots.
Spread seeds of happiness.
Rise, shine and hold your head up high.
Keep on growing.

“I don’t think there’s anything on this planet that more trumpets life than the sunflower.
For me that’s because of the reason behind its name.
Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun.
During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky.
A satellite dish for sunshine.
Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it.
And that’s such an admirable thing.
And such a lesson in life.”
Helen Mirren
