I think of Luna as a Sunflower plant. Sunflowers tend to face towards the sun, and Luna herself generally has a sunny disposition even if people do think of her as "loony lovegood". Sunflowers can be used to extract toxins from the ground (like lead, arsenic, and uranium) and if there's anything Luna can do, it's help chip away at the icky-nasties of thw world.

Not to mention that Sunflowers are often a symbol of the green movement, and there's a Sunflower guerilla gardening day where people gather and surprise plant sunflowers in otherwise neglected places. Luna's that spot of sunshine that you didn't expect, and that activity just feels like the sort of thing she'd be into.

I really like your connection between the sunflower pulling toxins out to Luna's ability to lighten the world. That's a brilliant choice for her! I had a completely different flower in mind for her, but this is so much more of a perfect fit for her!

Perfect! Absolutely perfect - especially about her chipping away at the nasties...she does it in such a gentle, beautiful way. Sunflowers are also vibrant and stand out - just as Luna does with her unique fashion sense.

Maybe it's just me, but I think of sunflowers as a little too ... normal for Luna, even. I agree that she's very sunny, and I can easily see her dancing in a field of sunflowers, and she's always rising above and turning towards the sky, so to speak, even if she's made fun of. I'd still give her something slightly more ~unusual, though

Hmmm, I like this. It also sort of turns on its head the fact that Luna has raddish earings, and now she'll have sunflower seeds, which are also edible, adoring her form. And I especially like the guerilla gardening idea for Luna. She's quirky, that's quirky and fitting.

I also think Luna stands tall against other people's attitudes, she ignores them and turns to follow her own path (which would be the sunflower following the sun).

I really like this comparison! Luna really does 'extract toxins' like for Harry when she talks to him at the end of book five!
