About the Item

Sunflowers symbolize loyalty and adoration thanks to the myth of Clytie and Apollo. And, because of their association with the sun, sunflowers are well-known for being a happy flower and the perfect bloom for a summer flower delivery to brighten someone's mood. The pendulum has the form of a butterfly, a popular motif used in decorative arts since the time of Revolution. Clocks with butterfly decorations suggest the fragile victory of love over time and death.
