The Flowering Fields

The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch, in Carlsbad, California has nearly 50 acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers which are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area's local heritage, is also one of nature's official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.
