Take one giant sunflower, add camera toting human being, give it about a minute, and you will have one pic of a sunflower. Everybody’s got one. This is mine.

I like the way the backlight on this allows the full play of the various textures and more subtitle colors. And I like it that, even in its own shade, it just looks so cheerful! That’s sunflowers for you.
