Walking through the sunflowers

During the season, the local produce farm that is south of town grows many fresh fruits and vegetables that are sold at their farm store and at a few roadside stands around the area. This year they have also planted sunflowers and for a fee you can walk the paths through the sunflower fields.

Sunflowers are annuals and come in tons of different sizes and colors. They are native to North America and are one of the easiest flowers to grow.

Sunflowers can be categorized into three groups: tall, dwarf, and colored. These photos are a few of the many varieties that were growing along the trails.

Tall sunflower varieties can grow up to 15 feet tall, and one record breaking giant measured at 30 feet and 1 inch tall!. Dwarf sunflower types only grow to be about 3 feet tall and are perfect for growing in pots. Hybrid Sunflowers also come in a variety of colors.

Sunflowers love the summer heat and need full-sun. In fact, sunflowers love the sunshine so much that they’re known for heliotropism, which means the plants move throughout the day so that they’re always facing the sun.

A walk through the sunflower fields provided so many photo opportunities that it's pretty certain that I will be posting more photos from the farm!

Beautiful sunflower fields 😍 cool that they have so many varieties. I grew some of the hybrids a couple of years ago. I loved the added colors and 2 color ones. I also remember driving across the Dakotas and seeing huge fields of sunflowers along the highway. Fun post 👍

I really like the 2 color ones. I don't have enough sunny spots to grow them.

Recently I came to know that sunflowers come in many different colours than yellow and now it is really amazing to see its different shades in your post but frankly, I like this flower best in its original yellow colour. :)

All the different varieties look lovely together in a bouquet. My girls picked many for me for my birthday and they are making my whole house look sunny!

When was your birthday! I didn't know about that..
Wish you a very happy birthday dear, may this year be filled with fragrance, happiness, delicious food, and good health.🎉🤗

I had a lovely birthday weekend with a family party on Saturday and a get together with old school friends on Sunday.

Wow! Those are beautiful and what a fun experience to be able to walk through the fields.

They are quite lovely! I'll post more about the experience.

It is literally my first time seeing a red colour sunflower, is it because of some abnormal activity or are they naturally red coloured?

So beautiful they are looking

It is a hybrid created by plant breeders. Seeds to grow these colors are available from garden stores.

Namaste 🙏 Ma'am, first time I saw a different type/color of sunflower 🤗, it's interesting to know more about the black reddish sunflower and what is the difference between others🤔

My eldest daughter is fascinated by sunflowers, whenever I see them I remember her, they really are beautiful flowers and I like the fact that they always face the sun, it's very inspiring.

I received two big bouquets of sunflowers and I feel surrounded by cheerful sunflowers right now!

Thanks Zori! It has been a lovely weekend. There was a family party on Saturday for me and Lauren, and today friends came over and there was a second cake! Much more social activity than I'm used to. 😁

Wow! I haven't seen some varieties before especially the red one. They are beautiful here but close to my residence, they grow as weeds, covering the whole place.

Beautiful photos of sunflowers, and a pretty write-up about sunflowers!
I love them, @melinda010100 ! Here is California and where I live in particular, many fields are planted with sunflowers!

I used to grow a few of these in my yard and I notice them turn to follow the sun throughout the day. I may grow a few again next year should I still have the space.

They do brighten up a garden!

Forever learning something new, never realized so many different faces in the sunflower. What a delightful way to spend a day walking between the rows of blooms.
