NATURE


Flower Fields A-Bloom For more than 60 years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coor- dinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly 50 acres of Giant Teco- lote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year — from early March through early May — liter- ally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.
