August 9th (Wednesday) Sunflower Village Flowering Status: The sunflowers are drooping and starting to wither in many places.

Thursday, August 10, 2023

This is the current flowering status of Sunflower Village on Wednesday, August 9th.
At Sunflower Village, the rain last weekend has caused the sunflowers that were in full bloom to droop and begin to wither in many places.

The sunflowers lining the path of the jumbo maze lifted their heads with a heavy look on their faces and bowed in unison...

Every now and then, the mischievous Himawari pops out and greets you with a big smile...

The sunflower's petals have fallen off and its face has turned brown, but the seeds have been removed and smiling faces are now everywhere...

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.
