We celebrate Day Six of our flowery event with festive Sunflowers by artist Vaida Petreikienė who comes to us from Lithuania.
“Bring me then the plant that points to those bright Lucidites
swirling up from the earth,
And life itself exhaling that central breath!
Bring me the sunflower crazed with the love of light”
~ Eugenio Montale
