The Sunflower State

The Sunflower is the State Flower of Kansas . . . and Kansas is known as "The Sunflower State".

All States have a State Flower, but in most cases you never see them. Not so in Kansas!

Every year in the late Summer months, wild Sunflowers begin popping up all over Kansas . . . in the fields, along the woods, around the lakes and ponds, and along all of the the roads and highways.



Our wild Sunflowers are not as large or as tall as the domestic variety, but they sure do add a lot of color to the Kansas landscape.
















Late Summer in Kansas is a colorful place to be . . . for Kansas surely is "The Sunflower State".
