Delivery in Switzerland & Liechtenstein
No other flower symbolises summer and the sun more than the sunflower. A fresh bouquet of sunflowers brings summer greetings directly to you or your loved ones' homes and fills every room with a touch of light, warmth, joie de vivre and good humour. Did you know that the sunflower is not only named for its appearance, but also for its properties? As a so-called "compass plant", the sunflower has a special property: on sunny days, the buds of the sunflower always turn in the direction of the sun and move from east to west. At night they turn back towards the east - to carry out the movement all over again the following day. Fully blossomed sunflowers no longer turn and almost always point in the direction of the sunrise.
Bouquet of sunflowers: Sunflower bouquetLarge, colourful - and more diverse than you might think
When you think of a bouquet of sunflowers, you almost always imagine huge blossoms framed by a wreath of bright yellow petals. The whole thing supported by strong, hairy stems. But the flower has even more to offer! The flowers can grow in different sizes, ranging from ten centimetres to 40 centimetres in diameter - like American giant sunflowers. For a bouquet that is to stand in a vase, flower heads from a few centimetres up to about 20 centimetres are suitable. The small varieties have comparatively thin stems and can therefore be combined well with many other flowers and some greenery to create a colourful summer bouquet.
The summer flower also offers variations in colour. The spectrum of colours ranges from classic yellow to orange and brownish shades. Multi-coloured varieties are also popular, as are more unusual cream or dark red versions of the flower. In the vase, sunflowers look particularly beautiful together with contrasting other flowers. The florist likes to combine the yellow or organic tones of the flower with blue or purple flowers, such as lisianthus or levkojen. In terms of the shape of the flower, you can choose between flowers with a single row of petals or with several wreaths of petals.

The language of flowers: Helianthus stands for bouquet of sunflowersSun and love
Almost every flower is also a symbol and expresses something specific: If you give someone a bouquet of sunflowers, then - of course - it stands for the sun and summer. The Latin name of the sunflower, Helianthus, is a combination of the Greek words Helios (sun) and Anthos (flower).
The symbolism of love is derived from Greek mythology and refers to the story of the beautiful Clytia, who fell in love with Apollo. Grieving for the rejection of the sun god, she transformed herself into a sunflower, which turned its face towards the sun, its lover, every day - just like the sunflower.
Incidentally, the symbolism and naming is actually a case of mistaken identity: the actual sunflower originated in America and only came to Europe much later.
