Sunflowers hold places in many legends - the Iroquois believed that sunflowers grew out of Earth Woman after she died giving birth to twin sons, Sapling and Flint. The Incas worshipped sunflowers as they considered them a symbol for the sun. Sunflowers were featured in Greek mythology, and they were the subject of Vincent van Gogh's still-life series, Sunflowers.
In more recent history, Ukraine adopted sunflowers as their national flower when they became independent from Russia in 1991. To the Ukrainian people, sunflowers represent peace, unity, hope, and resistance.
