Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch – California
Recently During the Spring I was in the Carlsbad,California and got to know about the Famous Flower Fields . Being a Girl, I found the name itself Fascinating and quickly bought the tickets from their website and was very excited to see the flowers .
The Flower Fields opens up once a year in spring from March 1 through May 10. The area has a number of attractions, including its Tecolote Giant Ranunculus, a greenhouse filled with cymbidium orchids, a 279-by-147-foot American flag made out of red, white, and blue petunias, musical events and Educational tours for both children and adults.
As I was passing through the Flower Fields, I saw a huge field filled with blue , red and white Flowers and later I realized that it is actually a replica of The American Flag which is the largest ever planted in petunias. The flower flag is 279 feet long and 147 feet wide. It covers around one acre and requires a total of 18,989 red, white and Blue Petunias plants.
The Flower Fields has been planting the Flag ever year since September 11, 2001 attacks as a tribute to the memory of those who were lost.
In addition Antique Tractor-Wagon rides are available, transporting visitors around the planted fields, stopping off to let folks walk around and enjoy the scenery, and picking them back up are returning then to the start point.
There is also a Play area for kids with lots of Colorful Play structures and seating area for Adults which is named as ‘Santa’s Village’. Me and My little one had an amazing time playing in this area.
Location :
5704 Paseo Del Norte
Carlsbad, CA 92008

I didn’t realize that there flowers like that in California. I’ve seen the Dutch gardens in Michigan – and they are beautiful in the Spring. Isn’t it funny how I feel I need to go somewhere I didn’t even know existed 15 minutes ago?

These fields are so beautiful, I have never seen anything like it in my life! It’s so nice of them to recreate the flag out of flowers in the memory of the victims of the 9/11. It is really touching.

wow…I suppose that’s the true meaning of “flower feeld”. In Europe I’ve often seen square or markets dedicated to flowers but I hardly saw something like this even in Holland!!

Holy Cow! Those are gorgeous fields and I LOVE the flag! That would be really cool to check out if I lived closer.
My Teen Guide
Fantastic views! Planting and caring for the plants until they bloom must have been so much work, but looking at it is enough to take away all your exhaustion. I have to visit the place if I am ever in California. So stunning!
