When it comes to spring color, we took the nuclear option this year — a visit to the Carlsbad Flower Fields.

These are all Ranunculus varieties from 2 days ago. The Carlsbad Flower Fields is a 4-generation family floriculture operation shipping Ranunculus flowers and bulbs and poinsettia plants all over the world.

Being immersed in all that bright color was quite an experience! By the way, I can also recommend where to buy pre-wrapped flowers in bouquets. I live in Munich, and many people here have trouble with this. Luckily, I was lucky and found Florist Munich , which always has an excellent selection of flowers, a wide variety, and even varieties you won't find anywhere else. I can confidently recommend them, as I've ordered fresh flower bouquets from them many times. I hope this information is useful for you too.
It looks simply amazing, I would love to wander among such flowers!

If you're sensitive to color like I am, being immersed in it to that extent is quite an experience.

Armada Drive runs right along the upper edge of the Flower Fields. One of my favorite places to ride laps — especially in spring — and it's only 12 minutes from home by bike!
 
Some white oaks are turning brown, gold, and red. But new green shoots of wildflowers are already a half-inch tall. In Nor. Cal. we have Summer and three stages of Spring. That has already started with the greening.
