While everyone always talks about spring flowers and the bright colors before summer’s heat rolls in, fall often gets overlooked. Many of Iowa’s brightest and most beautiful blooms don’t show themselves until the weather has begun to cool down – like the giant sunflowers that have been getting a lot of attention lately! Sunflowers tend to look their best in the late summer or early fall, after a few months of growing and stretching towards the sky. If you’re looking to brighten up your home with these beautiful blooms, head to the Quad Cities area and pick your own bouquet at Miss Effie’s Country Flowers.

Miss Effie's Country Flowers is a charming pick-your-own garden located in Donahue, Iowa.
