Drove by Marini Farm in Ipswich yesterday and saw the awesome sunflower field – a must visit!
Manuel is that Joseph under that giant sunflower ?
No other, he was always the talented one.
More facts:
The Origin Of The Sunflower
The sunflower is considered native to the United States. Many enthusiasts claim that it was first cultivated by Native Americans over 8,000 years ago (though others contend that the plant wasn’t cultivated until 2,600 BC). As early as 2,000 BC, sunflowers were being grown using methods that encouraged bigger seeds and a more bountiful crop. It had already become a major staple in the diet of Native Americans by the time European explorers first visited America.
Armenia Sunflower known as semushka.
