Sunflowers have long been tied to the sun, not only because of their appearance but also their behavior. The ancient Greek myth of Clytie and Apollo tells the story of a water nymph who fell in love with the sun god Apollo. When Apollo abandoned her, Clytie watched him as he traveled across the sky each day, eventually transforming into a sunflower. This myth explains the sunflower’s heliotropic nature, symbolizing unrequited love and devotion, as the sunflower never stops following the sun.
