Carlsbad Flower Fields in Bloom, Spring 2009
I am exhausted. It has been a very busy week playing tourist with our friends from Watsonville. Adventures with 5-6 kids are a little harder than with just three. Still, we’ve had lots of fun, and I have plenty to blog about when I catch my breath.
In the mean time, I hope that if you live here in Southern California, these pictures will inspire you to visit the Carlsbad Flower fields. I get to drive by these beauties several days a week.
The admission is affordable. Keep your eye out for coupons or bring your AAA card. While you’re there pick up some discount coupons for Legoland (Free Child admission with paid adult)
There is a fun playground for the kids and a sweet pea maze. The Poinsettia collection is fascinating with numerous varieties of this symbol of Carlsbad. The fields themselves are breathtaking. You can enjoy them by tractor or on foot. If you go, you are in for a treat. Stop by soon. The season is very short.

I seem to associate “Carlsbad” with the caverns in southern New Mexico… So the photos were not quite what I was expecting! Very lovely and how lucky you are to drive by these everyday!
What a nice burst of color!
I live in Seattle and I’m still inspired to go visit this area. I love all the colors in the top photo.
This makes me miss home! Currently, I live in Boston, but I grew up near Carlsbad in Del Mar, CA. This time of year is so pretty in San Diego. Strawberry season is also great when you can eat them right at all the little farm stands. Enjoy San Diego and thank you for the nice memory! – Nancy
adventures with guests and kids are always hard. i lived in san diego for a while and we used to go to carlsbad all the time. it’s gorgeous!!!
Those flowers are absolutely gorgeous! What an enchanting place to take kids to.
Spring flowers are just beginning to bloom here in Michigan, so it’s nice to see the later season flowers that aren’t quite here yet.

I just hope that my garden is like Carlsbad flower fields. It’s a very beautiful place to visit or stay for good. I haven’t been to Carlsbad yet but I’m hoping that this coming vacation I can visit the place.
