Sunflowers
Cardcaptor Takato:
In episode 47 of CCS, when Syaoran tells Sakura and Tomoyo that he isn't going back to Hong Kong after all, Sakura is really happy about it, but right before they show Sakura being happy, they show these random sunflowers. Why do they randomly show sunflowers like that? What is their significance? I was just wondering this because I've never seen it used in any other anime before and it was the only instant in CCS to my knowledge where they used it.
Arcademan:
Hmmm...interesting question. I don't have the answer but now my curiousity is aroused. I have a Sakura figurine where she's standing around a group of sunflowers:
Anyone know?!!
princesslore:
Hum... my theory is... (I think)
The sunflowers are like Kero's flowers. I think it may be that conection about Kero and the sunflowers.... I think.... or...
Maybe... Nadesico loves the sun... so... :confused: well.... it's my opinion :heh:

Well, Kero IS the Guardian of the Sun...maybe it includes sunflowers?!!
Maybe it was just a random screen shot...or something a lot more. I'll have to re-watch that episode and see if I can make heads or tails out of it.
Ando:
I noticed that sunflowers are used at another point in this episode: when Li and Sakura are doing classroom chores, Sakura can be seen putting sunflowers in a vase. A quick look around the Web for a Japanese symbol meaning of sunflowers didn't give much, but condsidering they are Kero's favourite flowers, they should be attributed much the same way as in the West: strenght, warmth, etc. Considering the cheery little melody that was played at the shot in question, I'd say it was just a random pick, signifying Sakura's (and, assumedly, the audience's) happiness at Syaoran's announcement.
