TENS of thousands of sunflowers have bloomed at a Hampshire farm.

Around 100,000 sunflowers are on show at Sunnyfields Farm in Totton, near Southampton.

The farm planted 30,000 individual seeds of 55 different varieties and with some plants having multiple heads, there are over 100,000 colorful sunflower blooms.

The 8m tall and 30m wide pyramid is the centerpiece of the show with three sides full of yellow flowers.
