An American from Kansas set the bar high by gifting his wife 1.2 million sunflowers – one of her favorite flowers – which he planted with the help of his son for their 50th wedding anniversary last month .
“It made me feel very special. I couldn’t have received a more perfect birthday present than a field of sunflowers,” Renee Wilson told Good Morning America on the American channel ABC, with a smile on her face.
In May, with the help of his son, Lee Wilson secretly planted about 1.2 million sunflowers on 80 acres of land in Kansas – the equivalent of 60 football fields – in order to offer the field full of flowers yellow to his wife for their 50th wedding anniversary on August 10.
“What could a guy give his girlfriend for the 50th?” he told the American media, making his partner smile at his side. I thought about it a lot, and she always loved sunflowers. And I said to myself: ‘This is the year to plant sunflowers’.”
Their love story began in high school, when Lee Wilson would have taken the receiver to ask his future wife to go out with him the day she turned 16, since her parents had forbidden her from going out with boys before.
The couple then went roller skating in Harper, Kansas, just an hour from where he allegedly planted the sunflowers, and the man already knew he had found the woman of his life, he reportedly added.
On social networks, the gift did not go unnoticed as several users applauded the gesture.
“The bar has been raised,” said a first Internet user, while a second rather joked “and I can’t even receive a response by text,” according to what “The Guardian” reported.
