current flowering status of Sunflower Village on Wednesday, August 9th.<br \/>\nAt Sunflower Village, the rain last weekend has caused the sunflowers that were in full bloom to droop and begin to wither in many places.<\/p>\n<p>The sunflowers lining the path of the jumbo maze lifted their heads with a heavy look on their faces and bowed in unison...<\/p>\n<p>Every now and then, the mischievous Himawari pops out and greets you with a big smile...<\/p>\n<p>The sunflower&#039;s petals have fallen off and its face has turned brown, but the seeds have been removed and smiling faces are now everywhere...<\/p>\n<p>With boundless love, gratitude, and prayers, I send these magnificent sunflowers their last bit of strength, enjoying to the fullest the final stage of their lives, and blooming to the fullest without any regrets.<\/p>\n<h2>August 9th (Wednesday) Sunflower Village Flowering Status<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
