The Flower Fields

This sprawling flower garden at Carlsbad Ranch is awash in a rainbow of colors. There are a few main attractions here including the greenhouse "Tecolote Giant Ranunculus" full of cymbidium orchids and acres of fields arranged in spectacular blocks of blooming hues. The admission price is high because the fields bloom and are open to visitors for only a small window of time - from March 1 to May 14.
