The first day of spring may be almost a month away, but the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch, which has already begun bursting with color, opens this weekend.
The vibrant pink, red, orange, yellow and white Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that blanket the 55-acre field are in bloom for about six to eight weeks every year. This typically takes place from early March through early May.
"Over 14 acres of blooming ranunculus await you," the springtime attraction's website said about its current conditions on Tuesday.

This year's theme is "Where Color Takes Flight." It's inspired by the new encounter that will flutter with hundreds of butterflies and "Glass in Flight," a traveling exhibit featuring three dozen "giant insects" made of glass, created by artist Alex Heveri. The Butterfly Encounter will be $5, plus admission to the Flower Fields.
