Washington Co., WI – It’s that time of year when sunflowers are in full glory. Time for Washington County to show off your sunflowers during the WashingtonCountyInsider.com 7th annual Sunflower Challenge.Â
Jeanne Goeden submitted her over 8-foot-tall sunflower growing next to her house in Kewaskum. Jeanne is 5-feet tall and she used a yardstick to give perspective.
In case you missed them, these beautiful red sunflowers were submitted by Darlyn Dalton of Trenton.
Below are some submissions from 2020.

In 2017 WashingtonCountyInsider.com issued a challenge to neighbors to show us your sunflower.
Mr. climbed atop a pair of sawhorses and still wasn’t tall enough – looks like a 10 footer. Can anybody do better?
Ah! Sunflower
William Blake, 1757 – 1827
Ah! sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveler’s journey is done;
Where the youth pined away with desire, And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves and aspire; Where my sunflower wishes to go.
