 2007
GIANT SUNFLOWER MAZE:What flowers have a cheerful nature, tenacious spirit, and are as American as baseball and apple pie? Yes! The Sunflower! Our 2007 maze design was a GIANT SUNFLOWER symbol created out of field corn and sunflowers. This popular flower has a heritage that goes back to Peter the Great's excursions to Holland where he was so impressed with sunflowers that he brought the seeds home and began sinking their roots in Russia's soil. Before long they were popular in Italy, The United States, and throughout the world. |
