Flower Fest


I LOVE Flowers. So I was in heaven earlier this week when we drove down to Carlsbad for my first visit to the Flower Fields.




Although there are several small garden areas, a sweet pea maze, and several large sheds showing a variety of plants, the star of the show are these fields of ranunculuses.




Ramunculuses are described as a brilliantly coloured flower that looks like it's made of crepe paper. A perfect description.

    Aren't they stunning? I'd never seen anything like this before.

    Me neither. What is amazing is that there were several fields that I didn't show that were not yet in full bloom when we were there. Had we gone about ten days later all of it would be out. And the season is so short - just until 1st May.
