Language of Flowers Column Vol. 18 | Sunflower

The sunflower—a straight, powerful flower that stands out against the summer sky.
Named "himawari" (literally "sun-turning") for the way it blooms facing the sun, its brightness and energy naturally lift the spirits of those who behold it.

The flower language of sunflowers includes...
・"I gaze only at you"
・"Adoration"
・"Passion"
・"Radiance"

Among these, the meaning "I gaze at you," which signifies "single-minded devotion," stems from the sunflower’s nature of following the sun. Furthermore, its large, majestic blooms evoke images of "a positive mindset" and "the courage to pursue one's dreams."

It is not only a perfect seasonal gift for summer, but also an ideal choice to cheer on someone working hard toward a goal. As a standing floral arrangement for concerts or events, it makes a striking statement and conveys feelings of joy and brightness.
