Symbolism of the Sunflower"I don't think there's anything on this planet that trumpets life like the sunflower.
One tiny seed is placed by man in the dark of Mother Earth. Like man it grows six feet tall.
When the sunflower is mature and in season it often becomes like older man, stooped with age.Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it."   
Its main stalk is the center of life, and it is strong. Seven branches or twigs - seven days of the week. Twelve green leaves - twelve months of the year. Three flowers on the branch - the Trinity. The flower has fifty-two yellow petals - 52 weeks in the year. In the center of the frame of yellow are three hundred and sixty-five rich seeds - the days of the year. The sunflower is one of the patterns in nature which reflect "pi", the Golden Ratio and Divine Proportion. It is a link between science, and spiritual thought. The pattern and symbolism of "pi" is prevalent in nature: sunflowers, the overlapping petals of the rose, the nautilus shell, the arrangement and growth of leaves, crystals, even the order of galaxies... The sunflower: symbolizing the cycles of life, given by Great Manifesting Spirit who is fully present in all life forms, no matter how near or how far in time, space, or dimension, how great or how small. We live...We live.
