The Biltmore Estate's annual sunflower patch was in full bloom when my wife and I visited earlier this month, with flowers standing as tall as 8 feet high. The flowers stretch nearly 1 mile along the road that takes guests from Biltmore House to Antler Hill Village and the Winery.

According to a press release, estate workers plant seeds in two waves to guarantee a longer bloom window. As many as 144,000 sunflower plants will bloom through the season.
