Sunflower Fields Forever
Just east of Denver for a couple weeks each year the farmers plant sunflowers. These hardy plants can survive with little water. They grow quite tall and the blooms are huge. It’s no wonder they are so popular. When they bloom, hoards of people come out to the fields to enjoy them and take pictures. It has actually become a hazard. Many thoughtless people trample are cut the flowers down without giving thought to the owner of the fields. I wish the farmers would unite and sell Sunflower Licenses (i.e. like a Hunting/Fishing license) to limit the destruction and to allow responsible people to enjoy the fields up close. I realize that would take a lot of man-power to police, but I would pay for the priviledge and I know many others who would too! In the meantime, we line the road enjoying the view! Thank you farmers for planting these magnificient specimens!
