The Flower Fields is a flower garden in Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California. The Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the garden are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year, from early March through early May. The garden is typically open to visitors between March 1 and Mother's Day.[1] Volunteers lead educational tours of the fields.
In 2012, the color variants of the flowers were changed for the first time since 1997.[2] The land under the Flower Fields has been used for the a variety of different purposes, including amusement parks, shopping malls, and resorts. However, in 2015, the Flower Fields gained official protection from further development.[3]
