We often get asked if certain flowers or colours have a meaning, and while I personally don't take any significance from what is written about flowers and their meanings, but consider more what the flower is in itself - something beautiful, or unique, or interesting, or bright, I do find it interesting. But, consider my utter dismay when upon reading of sunflowers that their meaning is haughtiness or, if they are short, adoration.
Adoration, I can understand, but haughtiness? Desire, exultation, or striving, maybe, but the last thing I imagined a sunflower to be would be haughty. So, it is decided, from time to time we shall find an inappropriate floral adjective, and re-write it! Today we'll start with the sunflower.
What it says: Chin up, cheer up, thank you, I love you, You are a true friend.
Availability: Most of the year.
If you need them for a particular day or occasion, phone us a couple of days ahead so we can get them in for you if we don't have them. If they are not available, the next closest thing would be a yellow gerbera.
