“The lofty follower of the sun,
Sad when he sets, shuts up her yellow leaves,
Drooping all night; and when he warm returns,
Points her enamor’d bosom to his ray.”
James Thomson

Bryant And the yellow sunflower by the brook, in autumn beauty stood.
William Cullen
Which makes it ironic my favourite flower isn’t even indigenous to the British Isles, let alone Yorkshire. I don’t think there’s anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower. For me that’s because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that’s such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life.”
Tim Firth, Juliette Towhidi (Calendar Girls 2003 Movie)
The gaudy leonine sunflower Hangs black and barren on its stalk And down the windy garden walk The dead leaves scatter – hour by hour
Oscar Wild
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows follow behind you.

Light-enchanted sunflower, thou Who gazest ever true and tender On the sun’s revolving splendour.”
Pedro Calderon de la Barca
As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own sake, and for the sake of old-fashioned folks, who used to love them.”
Henry Ward Beecher
True friends are like bright sunflowers that never fade away, even over distance and time.”
Marie Williams Johnstone
The Sunflow’r, thinking ’twas for him foul shame To nap by daylight, strove t’ excuse the blame; It was not sleep that made him nod, he said, But too great weight and largeness of his head.
Abraham Cowley
