Vibrant Sunflower Village - Thursday, July 28, 2022

Friday, July 29, 2022

As we enter the last week of July, the fields on the hill at Sunflower Village are about 30% to 50% in bloom!

The main field near the Sunflower Tourist Center is covered with buds, and sunflowers are beginning to open here and there.

This year's sunflowers have grown beautifully, with tall, sturdy stems!

"They're growing so robustly, which is rare these days. They're the most impressive I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to it," locals say in unison.

I can already picture in my mind and dream of the moment when I can see the magnificent sunflowers that will soon begin to bloom all at once in this vast sunflower village!!!
