A farmer in the United States planted 1.2 million sunflowers to celebrate his wife's golden wedding. Sunflowers | Lenny | Sunflowers Celebration
A field about 6 kilometers east of Pratt, Kansas, USA, has recently been filled with golden sunflowers. They are not truly crops, but rather a 50th anniversary gift from a farmer named Lee Wilson to his wife Lenny Wilson.
According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation on July 30th, Li and Lenny fell in love at first sight when they were in their teens and spent most of their lives together. They will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary on August 10th. Li said that he had been thinking for a long time about what gift to give to his wife. "She has always liked sunflowers, and I think I'll plant them for her this year. So I planted 80 acres, about 1.2 million plants."
Li launched this "secret plan" in May this year, and under the cover of his son, this major project has not been discovered by Lenny. Until the fields were filled with sunflowers, Lenny finally received this surprising gift. She said, "This makes me feel very special. There's nothing more special than the sunflowers in the fields as an anniversary gift."
This sunflower field, symbolizing love, has attracted many people to visit and take photos. When it comes to next year's plan, Li said he doesn't plan to plant sunflowers anymore. "Although it's interesting, one time is enough," he said. "It's someone else's turn to plant next year."
