Velvet Queen Sunflower Seeds Art Pack

Where art and horticulture meet.

Seeds:  The deep velvet luster of this sunflower suggests its lofty station in the royal garden hierarchy. Its maroon flower heads nod, turn, and wave regally from their high thrones as they follow the sun's arc across the summer sky. Not content just to hover above loftily, sunflower blooms are useful, too: their seeds provide sustenance for migratory birds, oil for cooking, ornaments for palaces, and snacks for hungry humans of every class.

Specific:  Helianthus annuus.

Artist, Lisa Perrin created the original art for this pack in 2011. She created this updated version, nodding to the old art and adding new elements that tell the global story of sunflower cultivation.
