This past winter break was the first time I had seen anything like the Waialua sunflowers. Up north in the town of Waialua there is a private area where they grow sunflowers for California. Apparently, the Hawaii fall and winter weather is exactly what they need in order to grow.
Although, it is a very hard place to find because they are not right on the side of the road, the search is so worth it. However, if you do go, be courteous because it is on private property. If you see someone there just let them know you just want to see the flowers because they are very kind and full of aloha spirit.
Once you actually come into contact with the millions of flowers, you will not believe what you are seeing. It is like a giant sea of yellow! It was so pretty and I just wanted to run through all of them. Be careful though because there are a lot of bees hanging around the flowers.
When I went it was mid December. It is said that at this time they are still in the growing process meaning that later on around January time they are supposed to be much bigger because they cut them by the end of the month.
Here are some pictures of my mini adventure to the sunflower field. These pictures are just a glimpse of what the place actually looks like.
