More great dens, all different!
Jesse sowed sunflower seeds with Henry today. “I want to sow sunflowers for the Ukrainians, to show that we are thinking of them and support them. It is their national flower and a symbol of peace”.
Thank you, Jesse!
The latin name of Helianthus annuus comes from a combination of Greek words.
Helios translates to sun and anthos means flower.
The literal meaning of this word is that it is a flower of the sun.
It looks like the sun and turns to the sun.
Helios was the Greek sun god and Anthos was a Greek name used for boys.
Just as Jesse said, the sunflower’s greatest symbolic meaning is of peace and hope.
