The beauty of the sunflower lies within its characteristics. Like us humans, every other living being has their own characteristics, their own personality traits. Sunflowers are heliotropic plants, which is to say, its ability to orient itself to our parent star- the sun. 

The best thing about the sunflower though is that no flower can lift someone's spirits quite like sunflowers. They are bright and cheery, and as warm and inviting as the sweet summer sun itself. With brilliant yellow petals, also known as "rays," sunflowers have an unmistakable sun-like appearance that has made them a crowd favourite, especially in the summer months.
