Cheers to all the late bloomers in life!
In Texas, 95% of Lubbock County is dedicated to growing cotton and wheat,
but a local resident gave me directions to a field of sunflowers and
urged me to go right away since the blooms are short-lived.
I found a POV that emphasized the slight S-curve in the rows and saw this lovely late bloomer.
These sunflowers are all about four feet tall and are grown for their seeds and oil.
Even more rare for Lubbock, a sign said the crop was cultivated without pesticides.
