I share in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia these photographs taken in the Alt Empordà region in this week that we have changed from spring to summer.
In this series of images of the interior landscape of this region we can appreciate a field of sunflowers framed by a beautiful sunset.
The sunflowers, always so photogenic, paint the fields yellow at this time of year and invite us to admire them and, if possible, to stop for a moment to photograph them.
Sunflower is an annual herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family, native to Central and North America and cultivated as food, oilseed and ornamental throughout the world.
The planting season for rainfed crops varies according to latitude, but lasts approximately one month from the beginning of summer.
The sunflower is undemanding in the type of soil, although it prefers clay-sandy ones rich in organic matter, but it is essential that the soil have good drainage and the water table is at a shallow depth.
