Each year, towards the end of November, there is a little-known landscape that makes an appearance on Oahu’s north shore, only to disappear again just a few weeks later. This is the annual sunflower bloom at DuPont Pioneer, and it is an absolutely awe-inspiring sight, to say the least.

Blue skies and sunflower fields might be more reminiscent of the American Midwest during summer than of the Hawaiian Islands, but our year-round growing season makes the islands ideal for various harvests, including sunflowers.

This jaw-dropping landscape has been popping up each November at the DuPont Pioneer’s Waialua Parent Seed Farm for more than a decade, and is a photographer’s dream.

Megan Shute/OnlyInYourState.com I personally could not get enough of these gorgeous flowers when I visited the fields.

When looking in one direction, the striking sunflower fields back up to the Waianae mountain range, providing a stunning backdrop for the vibrant yellow flowers standing tall in perfectly-planted rows.

Megan Shute/OnlyInYourState.com Because it is a working farm, the fields are only open to visitors for a few days, including Wednesday, November 30 and Friday, December 2 from 12 to 2 p.m. Additional tour dates might be added, depending on the length of bloom.
