This year's sunflower maze is dedicated to two new arrivals to Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo. The intricate paths outline the face of a tiger in the middle of the field.

Reka and Zeya, two Amur tiger cubs were born last fall and are now cherished residents of our state. Aren't they adorable?

Tigers aren't the only things hiding in this flower field. You'll see plenty of butterflies and yellow finches flying around.

Make a day out of your visit to Lyman Orchards, visit one of the many fields to pick your own fruit.

Stop by the Apple Barrel farm market for fresh produce, mouthwatering pies, scrumptious donuts, and more.
