You also need to breed between 7a.m. and 7p.m.; I ended up with 5 Suns last month while trying to breed an Emerald. I used Lichen and Crystal; note you will likely get a lot of very long breeding times 30 min., 6, 12, 14, and 24 hours but if you stay the course and breed 2 pairs at a time you will eventually get your Sun. Also note that there may be other options that don't include the Earth element which would result in much shorter average breeding times when you don't get a Rare Dragon. Conversly when you bred the same pairs between 7p.m. and 7a.m. you have a chance at getting a Moon.

If you can only play Dragonvale in the later period then you can change your devices time from automatic to manual and select a city on the other side of the world. That worked for me when I was tried of getting Moons and no Suns.
