Lady Gaga was spotted in NYC last night carrying sunflowers. Very interesting... here are some fun sunflower facts! In addition to being good at absorbing radiation and brightening up a person's day or home:
- The sunflower is the state flower of the US state of Kansas, and one of the city flowers of Kitakyūshū, Japan.
- The sunflower is often used as a symbol of green ideology, much as the red rose is a symbol of socialism or social democracy. The sunflower is also the symbol of the Vegan Society.
- During the late 19th century, the flower was used as the symbol of the Aesthetic Movement.
- Subject of Van Gogh's most famous still life, Sunflowers
- The sunflower is the national flower of Peru, Russia, and Ukraine.
- The sunflower was chosen as the symbol of the Spiritualist Church for many reasons, but mostly because it turns toward the sun as "Spiritualism turns toward the light of truth". Modern Spiritualists always have art or jewelry with sunflower designs.
