Some background
For the story, I wandered in a sunflower field in spring/summer 2003, and took many pictures. You may see a consequence of that day in the sunflower splashscreen I made after that trip here . Soon after, Eloquence launched the wikipedia logo contest, and had an idea of a logo himself... but no flower to use for it. He asked me for one... and here is the flower I sent him. The logo had success during the contest, but did not make the final winner for wikipedia... still, it became our software Mediawiki logo ( http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/ ). Anyone may see this little flower on all wikis using our Mediawiki soft.
Sometimes during summer 2004, I felt the need of a very small picture which could be used to paste, just to say thank you to editors. Not a big barnstar to display, but just a tiny little thing one can distribute as much as desired.
It was first used on meta, to thank Raul654 . Then it spread on several of our projects and there is even an editor using it in his signature.
I am delighted that people use it. It gives a splash of sunny happiness on a talk page ;-)
