You can hardly find a more colorful and vibrant symbol of summer than sunflowers. The flower bud does not only look like the sun but also follows it during the day, emphasizing their strong connection. Because of this similarity, many superstitions and traditions associated with the flower have arisen. Here are some of the most common ones.
European superstitions
The sun is a vital source of energy, which means that a sunflower can also bring strength and luck, making a person more active. If you plant sunflowers around your house, the luck will get you every time you leave.

Asian superstitions
In China and Japan, people often live according to the teachings of Feng Shui: the flower is the embodiment of the male Yang energy - warm, light, and powerful. This is where the rules for how to place a bouquet of sunflowers in an apartment come from:
Western and southwest directions go well with yellow flowers. To fill the room with positive energy, place the flower in these parts of the house.
