Flower enthusiasts can still be immersed in colorful displays of nature at the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch, where 55 acres — just a short distance from the beach — are now open.

Taylor Moss, events and marketing manager, said this year’s lack of rain had an impact, but the fields’ irrigation system provided water, allowing the seeds to germinate better and stay in place.

Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers have shown up for the past 60 years, typically blooming from early March through early May.

There are currently 14 acres in bloom, Moss noted.

Two new attractions were added this year: A traveling glass art exhibit, “Glass in Flight” by Tuscon-based artist Alex Heveri, and a live butterfly encounter in which guests can feed and interact with hundreds of live, native butterflies.
