Man Secretly Plants 1.2 Million Sunflowers To Celebrate 50 Years Of Marriage. (VIDEO)

What special gift do you give to the person youโ€™ve been married to for 50 years? Thatโ€™s the question Lee Wilson, a farmer in Kansas, asked himself as his anniversary approached.

He first met his wife, Renee, in high school, though the two didnโ€™t become a couple immediately due to the fact that she couldnโ€™t date anyone until she turned 16 years old.

As soon as her birthday came around, however, Lee gave Renee a call. The two of them had their first date at a roller skating party, and theyโ€™ve been together ever since! Thinking back on their decades of being in love, Lee knew he had to do something special.

Finally, it hit him: Heโ€™d plant acres-worth of her favorite flower.

โ€œI put a lot of thought into it and she always liked sunflowers,โ€ Lee said. โ€œAnd I thought this is the year to plant sunflowers so I planted her 80 acres of sunflowers.โ€

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 August 10 anniversary, about 1.2 million sunflowers are in bloom, just for Renee.

โ€œIt made me feel very special,โ€ Renee said. โ€œIt couldnโ€™t have been a more perfect anniversary gift than a field of sunflowers.โ€

Although the flowers were planted for Renee, their beauty is drawing in visitors from all around Kansas. As lovely as this whole experience has been, Lee doesnโ€™t expect to do it again next year. Though, he does encourage others to try this lovely gift-idea out.
