Sunflowers are happy, silly flower faces. Gotta love 'em.

Sunflower facts:

Sunflowers symbolize unwavering faith and unconditional love.

Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are perhaps one of the easiest flowers that you can grow in the garden.

Sunflowers are called sunflowers for a reason. They need sun.

Sunflowers originate in the Americas. They were first domesticated in what is now Mexico and the Southern United States. Domestic sunflower seeds have been found in Mexico, dating to 2100 BCE. 

Native American people grew sunflowers as a crop from

Mexico to Southern Canada.
