Happy August! Happy Sun…flower!!
This week’s MMK Guest Post is dedicated to the Happy Flower … the Sunflower!!
As one of the Signs of Leo flowers, ruled by the Sun July 23 – Aug. 22, the Sunflower makes us all smile!! Nodding its head from Arles, Paris, Provence, Tuscany, England, Mexico, and beyond! It’s believed to hold important cultural and spiritual significance for people all around the world. Meanings of good luck, happiness, honesty, peace, and longevity are attributed to this beauty, with its petals surrounding a happy “sunny face!” Gifts of sunflowers…hold special meaning indeed!

For centuries, the sunflower with its fabulous color and beauty has inspired many of our greatest artists, from Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Gustav Klimt, Diego Rivera to Georgia O’Keeffe – even impressionist Claude Monet! It is fun to learn of van Gogh’s numerous versions and tales of friendship surrounding some of the world’s most famous, valuable, and revered paintings!
