One sunflower doesn't make a triumph. Unfortunately it has always been humans versus nature, which is a bit like cutting of one's hands for food. Sorry to always play the sour note... but it's pretty obvious that humans are destroying nature -- a thousand extinctions a week is pretty damned impressive. OK, in the end we'll become extinct too because of our stupidity, but that will scarcely be a Victory for nature, being reduced to a scraggly burning desert after the extraordinary abundance.
It's amazing how hardy nature can be in the midst of the asphalt jungle.
