Behold the humble sunflower! Could there be a happier and sunnier flower? Enjoy these images and quotes!

A beautiful flower with a sunny disposition!
I don’t think there’s anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower. For me that’s because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that’s such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life.
~Helen Mirren~

Wonderful sunlight streams through this beautiful half of a sunflower!
Does she realize she looks like a sunflower, ready to rain sunlight on all who look down upon her?
~Simone Elkeles~
“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It’s what sunflowers do.”
~Helen Keller~
