sunflower fields

Bright bloom expanses

Sunflower fields are expanses of land planted with sunflowers, typically grown commercially for seeds and oil.

The image of vast yellow blooms facing the sun has romantic and pastoral associations: We drove past sunflower fields stretching to the horizon.

They've become popular destinations for photography, particularly on social media.
