🌻 Sunflower Fields in North Carolina Are in Full Bloom! 🌻

Thanks to the recent abundant rainfall 💦, the sunflower field at Dix Park in Raleigh has bounced back from last year’s weaker season and is now a breathtaking sea of flowers! While a few buds are still opening here and there, most sunflowers are already in full, glorious bloom. 🌻✨ This year, the sunflowers are just the right height 🌱, and the density of the field is fantastic! Plus, once sunflowers reach full bloom, they stop turning and permanently face east 🌅—this helps them warm up quickly in the morning and avoid harsh direct sunlight in the afternoon. ✅ Pro tip: The best time to visit is after 6:30 PM—the temperature is pleasant, and the golden hour light is absolutely perfect for photos! 📸🌆 📍 Address: 1700 Umstead Dr, Raleigh, NC It’s best to enter from Hunt Dr and park in the recently expanded parking lot. 🅿️ A wonderful spot for family walks, photo sessions, and making sunny memories! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💛 #NCSunflowers #SunflowerField #NorthCarolina #Raleigh #DixPark #FamilyWeekend #NaturePhotography #GoldenHour #ExploreNC #SunflowerSeason #BloomBig #RTPlife #Wanderlust
