* Decorating the gardens, the sunflower seems to welcome us, shaking its head, crowned with yellow, red and orange petals, reminiscent of solar prominences.
It is difficult to imagine such a variety, although there is nothing surprising if we recall the history of these unique plants: brought to Europe in the 15th century by one of the expeditions of Columbus, bright yellow, orange-red flowers were sown in the Madrid Botanical Garden. Then they aroused universal admiration, they were glorified in verse, depicted on canvases, panels, stained glass windows, on bas-reliefs and tiles.
With a "flower of the sun" in his hand, the famous Flemish artist Anthony Van Dyck painted a self-portrait. Vincent van Gogh's "Sunflowers" painting, which was sold in early November 2005 for $120 million at Sotheby's, is world famous.
