Farmer Lee Wilson, in Kansas, decided to create an unforgettable celebration by planting 1.2million sunflowers, surprised his wife on their 50th wedding anniversary in a romantic gift.
Instead of a bouquet of flowers, he presented her with an extravagant floral gift – an enormous sunflower field!
With the help of their son, Lee has secretly been planting the fields with these beautiful flowers since May.
Now, just a week away from their anniversary, about 1.2 million sunflowers are in bloom, just for Renee.
Shortly before our 25th wedding anniversary, my husband sent 25 long-stemmed yellow roses to me at my office.
A few days later, I plucked all the petals and dried them.
On the night of our anniversary, I spread the petals over the bed and lay on top of them, wearing only a negligee.
As I’d hoped, I got a reaction from my husband.
When he saw me, he shouted: “Are those potato chips?”
An absent-minded husband thought
he had conquered his problem of trying to remember his wife’s birthday and their anniversary.
He opened an account with a florist, provided that florist with the dates and instructions to send flowers to his wife on these dates along with an appropriate note signed, Your loving husband.
His wife was thrilled by this new display of attention and all went well until next year, on their anniversary, when he came home, kissed his wife and said off-handedly,
“Nice flowers, honey. Where’d you get them?”
