They are the perfect representation of the beauty and brightness of Spring & Summer and the vivid colors of nature that come along with the seasons. *“Nothing feels more like summer than Sunflowers!

It’s no surprise that we see these flowers in paintings by renowned artists from around the world. This flower brings and spreads warmth, happiness, power and strength.

The wild sunflower originated in North America, but the commercialization of the flower first took place in Russia.  American Indian tribes were the first to domesticate the plant, and it was common for tribes to have sunflower crops that were harvested for their seeds and oil - used to make various types of foods. Sometime in the 1500s, the flower was taken to Europe by Spanish explorers where it became very popular for mainly decorative and medicinal purposes. Finally, in the late 19th century, the sunflower seed found its way back to the United States from Russia - *and the rest is history.* --- Not a Details member, but want to start using Bradley in your designs?
