My Kansas sunflower.
Kansas is nicknamed the Sunflower State. All I had to say on our visit this summer was that I wanted to find a sunflower field and the local folks made sure we found one. We traveled from Abilene to a town called Minneapolis, KS and somewhere off of Highway 81, we found our field. Think of the goodness we enjoy from sunflowers beyond their stunning beauty — the seeds and sunflower oil.
Thank you for your hospitality, Kansas!

Sisters-under-the-skin. We traveled cross country in 1985 and also stopped at a field of sunflowers in Kansas. I tucked one of them in my travel book and it stayed very well for more than 20 years.
Judy: I love your term — sisters-under-the-skin. It makes me feel good. Thanks for commenting.
I just moved to Kansas a few weeks ago so I may go on that search one day myself!
Hi Mary: Thanks for writing and I hope you enjoy Kansas as much as I did. The people are so nice.
