I have been going to see the sunflowers for about 5 years. This is the first year they planted all dwarf variety and I was disappointed, but maybe only because I was used to the taller, huge-flowered variety in the past. Also, the day we were there, most of the flowers were face down, looking sad. And they only planted about half of the lower field (just down the hill from the first field). I did not drive further down River Rd, but they have sometimes planted sunflowers in fields further down (toward Poolesville), as well. Anyway, they're still pretty.
