AnswerThe sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant that originated in Southeastern U.S. about 5000 years ago. It was used by the local natives in bread, medical ointments, dyes and body paints. Making it way to Mexico (trading between tribes) it was a valuable plant used by the Aztecs and Otomi of Mexico and the Incas of South America. In 1510 the Spanish explorers carried seeds back to Europe, and it became very popular across the continent as a food source and as an ornamental flower.

Sunflowers first came about 5000 years ago in what is now the Southeastern U.S.

They were used in tribal trade and made their way south into Mexico and beyond. IN 1590 the Spanish explorers took samples back to Europe.

In the year before his death he wrote to his brother Theo, "It is a kind of a painting that rather changes in character, and takes on a richness the longer you look at it.. You know the peony is Jeannis, the hollyhock belongs to Quost, but the sunflower is somewhat my own." In many letters to his brother, he spoke glowingly of the richness of color that he saw in the Sunflowers, and his own desire to paint them before they quickly faded. (as quoted originally by Marc Eldo Tralbaut)Answer 2:He made 7 paintings of sunflowers in a vase, and three of single sunflowers.
