Today is Colorado Day, recognized each year on August 1 to honor Colorado’s statehood. Sunflower Bank has been a part of the Colorado community since 2001, and we look forward to continuing to provide relationship-focused banking solutions to the individuals and businesses who call it home. While “Sunflower” in our name may have its roots as the state flower of Kansas, it has grown and evolved with us. Throughout our history, strategic mergers and acquisitions combined with organic growth has shaped Sunflower Bank. In 2019, we updated the Sunflower Bank logo icon to reflect our expanded presence—transforming it into a combined sun and mountain, symbolizing our growing organization with deep roots across our geographies. We embrace the sunflower as our core identity and find relevance and significance in the sunflower across our regions and businesses. A wide variety of sunflower species grow across our regional landscape, including Colorado. Nuttall's sunflower is a native Colorado wildflower, and just one of the sunflower species residing in the Centennial State. To our colleagues, industry partners, and customers — Happy Colorado Day!
