DON’T MISS THESE SUNFLOWER FIELDS IN RALEIGH

The dial has been turned up on the summer heat and the sunflower fields in Raleigh are standing to attention.

I don’t think there is a flower that can elicit as much joy as a sunflower.

DOROTHEA DIX PARK SUNFLOWERS

The 5-acre Sunflower Field at Dorothea Dix Park used to be along the Neuse River Trail and was a sort of hidden secret.

NORTH CAROLINA MUSEUM OF ART SUNFLOWER FIELD

The sunflowers at North Carolina Museum of Art also feature a magnificent background of artwork and sculptures. The sunflowers at NCMA feature artwork and sculptures as a background to viewing.

OTHER PLACES TO SEE SUNFLOWERS IN RALEIGH

Raleigh is surrounded by farms that also offer their own sunflower fields (and a few other attractions).

SUNFLOWER FACTS:

Phytoremediation is a process whereby the sunflowers break down and remove contaminants in the soil, water and air!

Sunflowers are heliotropes. Young flowers face east in the morning and follow the sun during the day.

- A sunflower can self pollinate to reproduce.

- The head of the sunflower is a combination of a thousand tiny flowers.

- The sunflower plant is native to North America.
