Sunflowers are native to the Americas and their images are often used to depict the sun. Sunflowers were brought to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century and sunflower oil began to be used in cooking along with the seeds. The leaves of the sunflower can be used to feed cattle and their stems contain a fiber used in the production of paper. What a useful plant!
I hope you enjoy these wonderful vintage depictions of the sunflower.
