The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) has been a source of spiritual inspiration to many peoples. Not knowing exactly which goddess you are referring to, I'll bring you a few examples:The native of Mexico used it as an expression of their sun god.It is the Greek symbol of Clytie (water nymph) who turns into a sunflower after grieving the loss of Apollo.The sunflower is also a symbol of Daphne (another Greek nymph).In China it deals with long life, happiness and good luck with the yellow coloring signifying vitality and intelligence.In Christianity, it is a symbol of God's love and unwavering faith.The Hungarian novel, Sunflower, by Krudy, has an "ancient goddess" and the theme of the story is life, death and transformation.
