 Legend has it that Clytie was a water nymph. One day, she met Apollo, the sun god, while he was hunting in the woods. She was deeply captivated by this handsome god and fell madly in love with him.
 But Apollo left without even giving her a glance.
 Clytie eagerly hoped that one day Apollo would speak to her, but she never met him again.
 So she could only gaze at the sky every day, watching Apollo drive his resplendent golden sun chariot across the sky.
 She fixed her eyes on Apollo's journey until he set below the horizon. Day after day, she just sat there in a daze, her hair disheveled and her face worn.
 At sunrise, she would look toward the sun. Later, the gods took pity on her and turned her into a large golden sunflower.
 Her face became the flower disk, forever facing the sun, following him every day - Apollo - telling him of her unchanging love and adoration.
 Therefore, the flower language of the sunflower is silent love, and it also carries the meaning of unrequited love and adoration.


 So the person who receives a bouquet of sunflowers knows the flower language now, right?
 Qixi, Valentine's Day, birthdays, parties... on all kinds of holidays, many friends will receive beautiful fresh flowers~;
 Fresh flowers have a blooming period, and after a few days they will wither;
 Sometimes we open the packaging and don't know how to care for them. A bouquet that was originally very beautiful, once opened, turns into a messy pile and is no longer beautiful;
 So, how should they be handled and cared for so the fresh flowers stay beautiful and last a bit longer?
 Here, the editor uses sunflowers as an example to tell everyone how to grow sunflowers in water.
 Keep the water clean, and cut the part of the sunflower submerged in water at an angle to increase the water-absorbing surface.
 Add an appropriate amount of chemicals to the flower-arranging solution; using them to inhibit the flower stems can extend the fresh-keeping time. If you cannot buy a fresh-keeping agent for the time being, you can use a 1/4000 potassium permanganate aqueous solution for preservation, or use a 1/3000 aspirin aqueous solution to make a simple fresh-keeping agent, which can also make them bloom. Make a simple fresh-keeping agent, and it can also make them bloom.
 Preservation temperature: ordinary flowers at around 5 degrees, tropical flowers at around 10-12 degrees.
 Placement: keep away from direct sunlight in summer, and keep away from drafty spots in winter.
