Sunflowers already exhibiting heliotropism, which they will do until they bloom! During the day the side of the stem facing the sun grows faster and thereby tilts the leaves toward the sun all day. At night the opposing side grows faster and reorients the plant back to the east for morning. Tessa Vogel will be documenting the progress all season long. Come and visit during the 2026 Schoolhouse Farms In Bloom Festival from August 6-9, 2026 where you can experience the largest interactive map of America ever made - 80 acres large and 2 million sunflowers.
