Last year I had the opportunity to visit the annual Flower Fields in Carlsbad, California. The Flower Fields are about 50 acres full of colorful giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers. The Ranunculus flower is also known as the Persian Buttercup and is native to Asia. The Flower Fields on Carlsbad Ranch bloom once a year for about six to eight weeks and are open to the public. Carlsbad Ranch overlooks the Pacific Ocean and in addition to the fields, has a wonderful Orchid nursery and a sweet pea maze! I had such a wonderful time enjoying the view and capturing the colorful details of the flowers.
