“Sunflowers are adaptable, for one. Seventy species. You plant them somewhere, and they'll figure out how to grow. They'll come up on the rich loam of rivers as easily as in arid, poor dirt. The worse the soil, the bigger they flower. They're scrappy as hell, but they always look like stars.”
― Marta Molnar, The Secret Life of Sunflowers
