July 28th (Friday) Sunflower Village Flowering Status: The sunflower field on the hill is in full bloom, and the Jumbo Maze field near the observation deck will soon be at its best!

Friday, July 28, 2023

At Sunflower Village, the sunflower fields on the hill are in full bloom, and the fields in the Jumbo Maze near the observation deck are about 20-30% in bloom. The green buds are gradually opening to reveal yellow petals.

I wonder if the sunflower fields in the Jumbo Maze will be completely covered in happy yellow by the time August arrives next week? I'm really looking forward to it!
