And all this time I thought everything in Kansas was in black and white. “Unlike the small native sunflower which grows wild in Kansas, these large sunflowers are grown by farmers as a crop. Large fields of the golden flowers are visible in the summer and early fall.” You think that’s weird? In my hometown, they grow dandelions as a food crop.
From Beth:
I gasped when this photo came up. How extraordinary. This postcard picture just fills my eyes….thank you so much for sharing this little beauty.
From Joanna (JamaGenie):
I’ve lived in and traveled around Kansas most of my life and have *never* *ever* seen a field of sunflowers, let alone one this large. Wheat, yes – sunflowers, no. Can we say “Photoshop”? btw, everything here isn’t b&w. Sometimes, with enough rain, things turn green for about 10 minutes. lol!
From Kate:
I grew up in Wellington, KS, and the fields surrounding town were always planted with wheat, alfalfa, or sunflowers. What part of the state are you in?
From Kate:
What a lovely site! I stumbled here while looking for pictures of vintage Kansas postcards. I grew up in a small farming town that was surrounded by wheat fields and sunflower fields.
Thank you for sharing your post card collection. I’m glad I stumbled by!
