    I love sunflowers. In the Italian language, the name for sunflower is girasole. Gira means to turn. Sole is the sun. This is what sunflowers do. I have a pleasant memory from a visit to Italy, as I drove between two fields of sunflowers. On one side of the road I could see all the strong green backs of the sunflowers. On the other side all the flowers had their bright faces turned to me and to the sun. The sight took my breath away!
