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.

No, 900 paintings in his life.
In August of 1888 Vincent van Gogh began a series of paintings with Sunflowers. Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist Master whose innovative artwork powerfully influenced modern Expressionism, Fauvism, and early abstraction. Astoundingly prolific, Van Gogh produced all of his work during a 10-year period, at one point, creating 150 paintings and drawings within one year. Painting outdoors, Van Gogh uniquely captured the nighttime nuances of light and shadow, and was also renowned for his paintings of sunflowers and irises. Tormented by mental illness for most of his life, Van Gogh created many of his masterpieces while he was institutionalized. Although Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime, he is now regarded as one of the most profoundly influential artists of the 19th century. http://www.art.com/asp/sp-asp/_/pd--10020646/Vase_of_Flowers_c1887.htm hi i like pie and penuts

Domestic sunflowers are annuals. The plant will die off completely at the end of each year. If the seeds are left on the head to fall off and scatter, it is possible that new sunflowers will grow there the following year. Some species of wild sunflowers, as well as Jerusalem artichokes, have a tap root that will allow the plant to grow back the following year.
