It rained here all day so I decided to look at the sun in a “different” form.
No other plant can laugh and turn its head and face to the sun as beautifully as the popular sunflower. The sight of a yellow flowering field of sunflowers invigorates our souls, although the mythological story of its origin and the name of the sunflower is sad. Young Clytia, a water nymph, was in love with Apollo, the sun god, staring at him all the time to see her. But Apollo did not notice her. When Clytia realized that her love was hopeless, she had neither eaten nor drank for nine days, sadly just staring up. She took pity on the gods, they turned her into a sunflower, which still accompanies the loved one with her gaze to this day.

Beautiful picture! There are many legends about the sunflower that I read when I was a child!
Thank you. I really like reading similar legends.
Amazing story. And these sunflowers are like sunshine.
You are right. The story is truly amazing and interesting.
The stories behind some happenings are sometimes funny.
I agree. Sometimes I have a lot of fun reading stories like this.
i love the story of unrequited love. That the sunflower turns to the sun, not for heliotropism but instead for the unreturned love!
The story is really interesting. Maybe you’re right about turning a sunflower.
🙂 the sunflower, taking the light from the sun and turning it into magic.
Pretty picture. I have grown sunflowers in all sizes.
Thank you. My mom always had sunflowers in the garden.
