With the birds and the trees,
And the sweet-scented breezes,
Good old summertime.

The history of sunflowers goes back thousands of years. Some archaeologists believe that Native Americans may have cultivated sunflowers as early as 3000 B.C. In the 1500s, sunflowers were taken back to Europe by New World explorers. When the first European settlers arrived in America, they were already familiar with the sunny yellow flowers.
During the 18th century, Russia began producing sunflowers. Peter the Great is given much of the credit for this. The mammoth Russian sunflower, a long-time favorite of Russian immigrants, was first listed in American seed catalogs in 1880.
The edible-seed flowers now are widely grown in two major forms. Small black seeds are produced for birdseed and for oil, used in cooking, cosmetics and soaps. The larger black and white striped confectionery seeds are produced for snacking and baking.

Summer is a season, defined by convention in meteorology as the whole months of June, July, and August, in the Northern hemisphere, and the whole months of December, January, and February, in the Southern hemisphere.
In some Western countries, the first day of summer (in the Northern hemisphere) falls either on, or around, June 21 or on June 1 (the former is the astronomical start; the latter, the meteorological). Summer is commonly viewed as the season with the longest (and warmest) days of the year, in which the daylight predominates, through varying degrees. In the northern latitudes, twilight is known to last at least an hour, sometimes leading to the famous white nights found in St. Petersburg and Scandinavia. It is also called the season of the midnight sun near the North Pole; in Iceland for instance.
Keep in mind therefore that while you are getting into the summer feeling over the Northern hemisphere, it might still be hard to find sunflowers in Australia…
