Sunflower Farm

Last week, I left for work early one morning last week, so I could stop and wander around the sunflower farm. The sun had risen not long before and it was a somewhat cloudy day.  But, the flowers were gorgeous!



This place has things like this set up for photo opportunities. They also provide clippers and jars, so you can cut your own bouquet.
I was only taking pictures on this morning.




They have more than just sunflowers. There are lots of other varieties of flowers to add to your bouquet.










After walking through rows of other flowers, here are the sunflowers!





So many types, big, small, and lots of colors.












Isn't this a pretty color?  I don't know if I've seen one in this shade before.





I am always drawn to the flower buds.  I think they are so intricate and fun to see the different stages.


























This one is ready to pop!





Here's a little bee enjoying the flowers too.
What a great way to start a day!  Then it was time to head on in to work.

  6. Many of our farmers here in Georgia have planted acres of Giant Sunflowers too. They are lovely. I drink it in every time we drive by, that's for sure. Also, I would really like to have that giant sunflower graphic that's on that barn for my yard! Super cool. Great photos.
    Blessings. xx

  12. I love sunflowers and was fortunate enough to grow a big garden of them this year. Some were over ten feet high! Right now the birds and the bees are having a field day with the seeds!

  18. Love the pictures, especially the progression from bud to flower.
    I also learned something new. I didn't know sunflowers came in different colors.
