No yellow and purple flowers

When Qiuru highlighted to me that her MIL stated that she wasn’t allowed any yellow flowers or purple flowers, she felt kinda disappointed because her favourite flower is sunflower.

Dear girl, who said you can’t have sunflowers?
As long as they are not yellow, you still can have it!

Just like roses, there is a huge colour variety for each flower to choose from actually, since the botanists and the scientists love to play around different breeds and mix and match to get new colours.

Thanks to these clever brains, now we have more decisions to make!

Below is a list of sunflower breeds to choose from!
