From special pop-up wedding ceremonies to professional photoshoots and more, soak up the final days of summer. Sunflowers rely on mother nature; don’t delay in experiencing their beauty.

- Sunflowers are native to the Americas.
- Each sunflower is actually made up of thousands of individual flowers.
- The tallest sunflower on record was over 30 feet tall. (Germany, confirmed by Guinness World Records on 8/28/2014)
- Sunflowers have been an important food source for the indigenous people of North and Central America. They have been cultivated for food, medicine, dye, and oil for more than 3,000 years.
- Sunflower seeds follow a Fibonacci sequence as they swirl around the head of the sunflower. You can see this same swirling sequence in things like a Chambered Nautilus shell and other things in nature.
- Sunflowers will follow the sun during the day. Once a flower has fully matured, it remains fixed to the east.
