Petite Sunflower | 8" Hoop
 
This sunflower was unlike any others. Petite and wiry. She would sway tenderly along the wind. Her sisters were stocky and rigid, but she was delicate. Almost fragile. Yet she did not give up. She probably was the strongest of all. Even though her stems were thin, she won't break. She won't snap. She learned to be flexible, soft, and elegant. She may not produce the best seeds or attract lots of pollinators, but she was beautiful in her own quiet way. I loved her for that.
