What 🌻 means

🌻 is warm, hopeful and friendly. People use it to wish someone a good day, celebrate summer, share flower photos or call someone their sunshine. It is softer than 🌞 and more cheerful than 🌷 or 🌹. Because sunflowers turn toward the sun, it can also mean loyalty, staying positive or looking for the light. The sunflower is Ukraine's national flower, so many people use 🌻, often with πŸ’™πŸ’›, to show support for Ukraine. In the UK, a sunflower is also linked to the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower scheme.

From a girl or a guy

It is usually friendly rather than romantic. It most often means they think you are bright and positive or want to cheer you up.

In a relationship or crush chat

With words like you are my sunshine, it becomes sweet and affectionate. It feels caring and cheerful rather than passionate like 🌹.
