🌻 Sunflower Fields in NC Are Now in Full Bloom!

Thanks to the recent generous rainfall 💦, the sunflower field at Dix Park in Raleigh has made a spectacular comeback this year! Unlike last year’s patchy growth, the park is now covered in a dazzling sea of flowers 🌼. While a few buds remain unopened, most sunflowers are already in full, glorious bloom. This year’s sunflowers are just the right height and wonderfully dense! Plus, once they’ve fully opened, sunflowers stop turning and permanently face east 🌅 — a clever adaptation to warm up quickly in the morning and avoid harsh afternoon sun. ✅ Key tip: Plan your visit for after 6:30 PM — the temperature is pleasant and the golden-hour lighting is absolutely magical ✨! 📍 Location: 1700 Umstead Dr, Raleigh, NC We recommend entering from Hunt Dr and parking in the newly expanded lot 🅿️. #NCPhotography #SunflowerField #NorthCarolina #NCPhotographer #Sunflowers #GoldenHour #WeekendFamilyFun #RTPNC #SunflowerPhotos #FlowerFieldWander
