The Sunflowers Sophistication
Sunflower is, in simple, from the first glance, a flower, you can pass by and leave but you can't help yourself but pay attention to it. It is a flower, and flowers are artistic and lively creatures. They just add more life to the life. Scientifically, this could be for their colours, smell or shape. however, they are more for this planet cycle. Not agree, fine.
Sun cultural significance
The sun determine the life signs in ancient Egypt. The cities were built in the east where the sun rises while the necropolis (cemeteries and temples for the afterlife) were built in the west where the sun sets down.
The romantic words of Ramses II to Nefertari was “ she is the one for whom the sun rises”
Colour
Back to the sunflower with its yellowish colour. The colour, I believe the world chose for me not the other way around and this could be for its brightness. there is some sort of relation humans have with the light and bright objects. expressively, there are things like bright minds. here is something romantic, when she enters, she brights up the space (or place, you can use it interchangeably) and so my world is in peace. unlike, the dark nature we all tend to avoid. In a very simplified term, it is not appealing, attractive or the ones interested in a hype term sexy to have interaction with. In the world of humans, the majority tend to embrace this brightness but sometimes and it could be actually most of the times you cannot judge a book by its cover. The example of the book is an old school one, but you are free to use it in a more flexible way according to your interests if again you are interested in it.
Shape
Although, they are flowers and all the flowers have something aesthetical about their shape, they are distinctive in nature. There is something added to their superficial flower shape stereotyping. Sunflowers have protruding core with other seed surrounded by unique Patels. Whether small or large, they are just very much recognizable to everyone in most cultures and countries. Noone or at least the majority will right away spot the sunflower just from its shape. I perceive the sunflower as an epitome of elegancy. Coco Chanel once said, fashion fades, style remains, and Sunflower is a flower in style.
Dynamic motion with sun
Sunflower is very celebrated with its dynamic relationship with the sun. it is shape, the one which first caught the eyes of the passers-by, has actually a role with its relation to the sun. That's why it is called the sunflower. The flower associated with the sun is following the sunlight redirecting itself according to the sunlight in a very dynamic and responsive manner. when there are lights coming from the sun, it simply closes its Patels. It is impressive to see and capture the nature wonders in action. The name of the flower is coming from this relationship. Light relationship, if you know what I mean.
Inspiration for biomimicry
This dynamism between the flower and the sun inspired the scientists working on the solar energy and solar panel to be more exactly. They were inspired to design and manufacture a solar panel which could follows the sunlight with redirections based on the light and other technical details of course. But the inspiration stemmed from the sunflower, the scientific source of inspiration.
Sunworshippers
In Arabic and in Egyptian Arabic, the sunflower is translated into sunworshippers for their relationship with the sun. The name could have been given to explain this dynamism as a prayer following and redirecting the sunlight. or maybe, this relation was resembled as the prayer from the creature and creator.
Oil
yes, sunflowers as flowers offers a lot for the exploitation of the human nature to the natural resources. one of these is the oil. the sunflowers oil is one of the favourable oils for cooking in Egypt at least and especially cooking the fried meals. In case of craving a fried meal, cook some in a sunflower oil. The reason behind this, it is simply an oil which can bear the heat and it could not burn. At least not the easy way. Additionally, they are super for a more silky and shiny hair. Actually, its oil is embedded in most hair care products if interested.
Seeds
Sunflower seeds have a lot of nutrients anyone needs. So, for a healthier lifestyle, get some seeds from healthy flower out there. she is here to help and give you some organic love.
Clean Air
Those pretty one are the preferred plants for nuclear radiation plants. they are there as decorative plants for more lively vibes and to clear the air from any leaked harmful radiations. a quote says: love is in the air but the air is highly polluted, so the sunflowers are there for a healthier one for a better love for those only who knows what the value of both nature and love are.
These are what I could think of when I look at sunflowers, if there are more reasons to love sunflowers more, let me know more.
So, salute for more of sunflowers!!!
