Sunflower Charm in 925 Silver, Gold and Zircon

The common sunflower , whose scientific name is Helianthus annuus , is an annual plant belonging to the Asteraceae family . Its generic name ( Helianthus ) comes from two Greek words. The first is Helios which means Sun, the other is anthos which means flower.

The Sunflower symbolizes happiness, sunshine and liveliness. Therefore, giving a Sunflower flower is equivalent to emphasizing the joyful and cheerful character. Character with which the person who receives it faces life.

Another meaning of the Sunflower comes from its particular behavior. The continuous turning of the flower head towards the sun from sunrise to sunset can be translated into desire. The desire to spend a certain period of time, an entire life or a single day with your loved one.

The Girasole , in other traditions and popular cults, also expresses gratitude as well as respect and admiration for the person who receives it as a gift.

Greek mythology tells of the nymph Clizia who, in love with the god Apollo, followed his travels on the chariot in the sky with her eyes. After nine days of observing the sun, however, she was transformed into this flower. Flower that orients its corolla towards the star just like the nymph Clizia did.

From this legend, narrated by Ovid in the Metamorphoses, this flower can therefore also assume the meaning of obsession with the person one is infatuated with. So, if on the one hand the Sunflower stands as a symbol of deep attachment to another person, on the other, it can also imply an unrequited love. Depending on the circumstances, therefore, it can symbolize a real obsession.
