Insta-ready fields: Best places to see sunflowers this summer - WTOP

McKee-Beshers, Montgomery County, Maryland The sunflowers were planted in May at McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area in Montgomery County and officially fully bloomed starting July 8. Those visiting later in the season may have already missed the sunflowers’ peak bloom. The DNR says the sunflowers will remain in full bloom for about two weeks. You can check the status of the flowers on their website. Sunflowers are planted to serve as a food source for wildlife. While the public is welcome to visit the sunflowers in bloom, Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources also urge visitors to be careful not to cut or trample the flowers: “Visitors must be responsible and ensure that their actions don’t have negative consequences.” 2/7 Sunlight bounces off a sunflower in a field at the McKee Beshers Wildlife Management Area on July 13, 2019.

The heat wave is causing sunflowers to bloom early - CNN

Dave Diggs, owner of the Sunflower Garden in Westminster, Maryland, says he thinks Facebook and Instagram have helped catch people's interest and sustain a unique fascination with the bloom. "The sunflower is certainly a hot flower this year, and it has been for a while, perhaps more than any other flower I can recall," he said. Diggs says that sunflowers are affected by the heat, and it could definitely make them bloom sooner. But places like the Sunflower Garden plant several times a season, so a premature bloom isn't really that big of a deal. "However, we did have a cooler spring than normal," he said, "So that definitely slowed things down at first." It's not just the temperatures the sunflowers are susceptible to; they really do "follow the sun" throughout the day. Scientists have settled on a few reasons and mechanisms for this behavior. Is it so you'll always be in good lighting for your Instagram pics? No, but you're free to believe that if you want.
