Feature Flower Friday: Sunflowers - from Garden of Eden Flower Shop

Hi there all of you Garden of Eden Flower Shop (and chocolates and gifts) fans! We'd like to welcome you all to our latest Feature Flower Friday! Each week, we will be feature a different type of flower, the meaning behind them and the reasons you would give or present them to someone else.

Today, we're talking all about the Sunflower. Enjoy: Ah, the sunflower. Can you think of another type of flower or plant that is as bright and cheery? It's flower, purely by nature's design, acutely resembles the actual sun. It's petals - a bright shade of yellow - are widely known as 'rays'. They are perennially a favorite of many people  - but even more so during the summer season.

What is the meaning of the sunflower? Even more than its stunning beauty, the sunflower is known to mean loyalty, longevity and adoration. Additionally, their inherent attributes can actually provide a certain level of energy through their vibrancy. They deftly mirror the actual sun this way. If you want to bring positive energy and sheer joy to someone's day, there is no better way to do it than bringing them a fresh bouquet of sunflowers. They are a versatile flower, which are also sourced for use in cooking oils and for their seeds.

People enjoy their warm glow and (literally) their sunny disposition so much, they make a perfect gift for any occasion. We invite you to stop by one of our three south Jersey locations to pick up a beautiful sunflower bouquet today!
