Sunflower (Helianthus) – A Radiant Symbol of Joy
At KvětinyExpres.cz, the Sunflower is the ultimate expression of summer vitality. Its botanical name, Helianthus, combines the Greek words for "sun" (helios) and "flower" (anthos). Originally from North America, where it was revered by ancient civilizations like the Incas, it remains a global icon of warmth and positivity.
Appearance and Personality: Known for its massive, textured flower head and sturdy stem, the sunflower is a natural standout. While famous for heliotropism (turning its head to follow the sun), mature sunflowers typically settle in a fixed eastward position. Its bright yellow petals are the botanical equivalent of a smile, making it impossible to stay in a bad mood around them.
Symbolism and Use: Sunflowers symbolize loyalty, longevity, and unconditional happiness. They are perfect for brightening up a home or as a "thank you" gift that radiates energy.
Florist Andrea's Tip (Natural Style Specialist): "Sunflowers are the undisputed queens of our summer bouquets. I love pairing them with rustic elements like wheat or tall grasses to enhance their natural beauty. Pro tip: because their stems are slightly hairy, they can make the vase water cloudy quite fast. Always strip the leaves off the lower part of the stem and change the water daily. If you want to deliver pure sunshine, a sunflower bouquet is the way to go!"
✦ Availability at KvětinyExpres.cz: During their peak season (June–September), sunflowers take center stage in our seasonal arrangements. You can also order individual sunflowers to create your own sun-drenched display at home.
