Basic Trope: Sunflower as a symbol of energy and happiness.

- Downplayed: Heartropea is seen with a sunflower once.
- Justified: There is really no other flower fitting Heartropea's personality.
- Inverted:
- Fleur is the Big Bad with black roses and white sunflowers as her Flower Motifs.
- Sunny has sunflowers as a motif, but is actually very depressed and low-energy.
- Subverted: Sunflowers are associated with Heartropea due to her power, but she favors lilies in mundane life.
- Double Subverted: A few episodes later Momotsuki joins her fight against Fleur carrying lily symbolism with her. To make herself unique, Heartropea changes her personal flower to Sunflower.
- Parodied: Heartropea uses weaponized Sunflowers.
- Zig Zagged: Heartropea can’t decide if she wants sunflowers or hearts as her symbol.
- Averted: No characters are associated with Sunflowers.
- Enforced: The creator really likes sunflowers.
- Lampshaded: "Your garden of sunflowers fits you well."
- Invoked: A character associates herself with Sunflowers because she wants to be a cheerful person, like those anime girls.
- Exploited: A character associates herself with Sunflowers because she wants to fool others into thinking that she is a cheerful person.
- Defied: Heartropea is associated with Chrysanthemum instead of sunflowers.
- Discussed: “Heartropea, how come I always see you with sunflowers?” “They reflect my cheerfulness.”
- Conversed: "Heartropea looks really cute with those sunflowers."
- Deconstructed: Heartropea’s true name is Himawari.note She was named so because her big sister(s) died in infancy, and her mother wants her to be strong and cheerful. Well, she is, except that she's faking it because 1) she is actually a quiet girl, and 2) she only wants to make her mother happy. Except that her mother can't really get over her children's death, and thus rarely smiles. This in turn makes Himawari hates her name and Sunflowers in general. She regularly pulls out Sunflowers she grows herself and rips them to bits to vent her frustrations.
- Reconstructed: After the Sunflower Fairies appears and tell her how they love her, she stops hating the Sunflowers and sincerely make them part of her image.
