Nothing says summer quite like a bouquet of sunflowers

And no flower can lift someone’s spirits quite like a sunflower can.

Bright and cheery, warm and inviting like the summer sun — Sunflowers (Helianthus) represent adoration, loyalty and longevity. Known as “happy” flowers, sunflowers are the perfect gift to bring joy to someone’s day or as a treat for yourself.

People have flooded their feeds with sunflowers — the national flower of Ukraine — in support of peace during the Ukraine Crisis. The sunflower is seen as a sign of hope and warmth, positivity and strength, strong bonds and lasting happiness — always looking for the light.

And a sunflower's seeds provide nutrition that is loved by both humans and wildlife alike. They help to remove toxins from the soil, playing a crucial role in environmental conservation.

Many people ask, what do sunflowers symbolize? What is their meaning? Sunflowers represent:

• A long life and lasting happiness, as most varieties stand in full bloom throughout the summer

• Good fortune and positive opportunities — a lucky charm for someone beginning a new career path or starting a new job

• Optimism and happiness, brightening your mood with vibrant and colorful yellow and orange petals

• Positivity and strength, as the sunflower always follows the sun

• Warmth, adoration, dedication and love for family members and friends

• Loyalty and strong bonds, represented by their sturdy and upright stems

• Friendship that lasts forever
