Sunflowers: why they're so special
The sunflower is my favorite type of flower!
There's just something about sunflowers that makes my heart so happy. They're beautiful, bright, colorful, and fun. Their rays of brilliant yellow brighten my spirit. This makes sense actually because sunflowers are actually the symbol of faith, loyalty, and adoration. They stand tall, stretching for the sun… bravely holding their seedy heads high.

Pink is my signature color. But my second favorite color is yellow! Yellow is a very beautiful color, it stands out, and catches my eye. Yellow stands for freshness, happiness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honor, and joy. Studies show that the meaning of the color yellow can be warmth and cheerful causing increased mental activity and muscle energy. The color yellow helps activate the memory, encourage communication, enhance vision, build confidence, and stimulate the nervous system.
Wow! Interesting, huh?!
