We went to the Shropshire petal fields at the weekend - grown for confetti and opened up to the public for about a week before harvest - not sure if they leave the sunflowers or harvest them later. The main planting were a delphinium, with some tracks of cornflower and the outer edges sunflowers - It was lovely, very well organised and everyone was very pleasant. We did buy some cornflower seed packets
