Universally, the sunflower represents pride and cheerfulness. The origins of the sunflower dwell deep in Greek mythology - within a legend that tells of a girl named Clytie who fell in love with the sun God, Apollo whose bright gold chariot rode across the sky everyday and was seen by the mortals as the sun. For a time, Apollo returned her love but soon tired of her company and refused to see her. Clytie was heart-broken and sat in a meadow everyday thereafter, fixing her eyes on her beloved sun from sunrise until sunset. The rest of the Gods took pity on Clytie and changed her into a sunflower and although she was in the form of a flower, Clytie still turned her face to follow the sun.
