This photo captures a single ordinary sunflower blooming among double sunflowers at the Akeno Sunflower Festival. It made me appreciate the fascinating way different species blend together in nature.Nothing brightens the heart quite like the sight of sunflowers all turning their faces toward the sun under the midsummer sky. At the Akeno Sunflower Festival, you can experience this seasonal symbol with your whole being. Beyond taking photos, simply walking surrounded by the flowers lets you forget the daily hustle and bustle—why not spend a moment like this?
