A sunflower field in Newtownstewart has raised £20,200 for Cancer Research UK.
It was set up and grown by the Inner Wheel Club of Omagh, in support of the charity.
The idea was to let people come and pick a flower, while also leaving a money donation of their choice.
The initiative has been extremely popular over the past few weeks, with people visiting the area from near and far.
A field dedicated to beautiful, bright & happy sunflowers... Newtownstewart, County Tyrone.🌻🌻🌻
