we’ve had snow the last few days.. so your flowers are a breath of fresh air =^_^=
I am so glad and hope spring comes soon for you!
I love these flowers. Seeing a whole field of them would be dazzling.
It is gorgeous and I visit each year~
OMG, I’m dying here, wishing I was there! <3 🙂
I wish you were too. When I was younger, I used to fill my trunk with ranunculus every spring!
Are they cultivated, who grows them?
They are cultivated, originally by the Frazee family. Les Frazee was a friend of mine. Edwin Frazee selectively bred double ranunculus, flowers with more than one layer of petals, by self sowing seeds from aberrant flowers. It it him we owe the present day gorgeous layered paper thin flower. When I was young, I used to fill my car trunk up with ranunculus every spring. Now one must pay for admission to the fields, but I am just glad they are still here~
What a fabulous gift to the world – thank you, Edwin Frazee!
Spring cheers to you also! Stunning photos!
Thank you & Happy Spring!
WOW….Love the amazing detail Cindy!!
They are gorgeous flowers aren’t they!
Absolutely beautiful!!
<3
My almost step son (he would be that if I’d married his father) went camping by you and he said it is FABULOUS out there. So are your pictures! Thank you for a brightened day Cindy. ~~dru~~
Ah, thank you for such a lovely comment!
Thank you for those beautiful pictures that show me what to look forward to. But, first, we have a bit of weather to look forward to.
Yes, I know. Weather is still a challenge in many places. I hope spring comes soon to you!
Stunning. I can’t think of another word for those gorgeous photographs. So amazing. When you see them, you can’t imagine people fighting or killing each other when there is so much beauty all around them.
Breathtaking!
Ahhh, thank you! 🌸🌸
awesome shots!
Mille grazie! 🌸
Fantastic!! Just amazing.
So grateful you enjoyed & thank you! 🌸
Peace
So beautiful!!
Merci beaucoup! 🌸🌸

I almost never know what I admire most, your pictures or your poetry. In this case I can’t decide, however…. spring cheers to you, from the Carlsbad Ranunculus fields… See, we got our own flowering here too, albeit modest. But how insignificant our daffodils and crocusses may be, it IS spring that’s cheering, from the verges and parks. And I, sun in my face, jacket hanging loose, whistling an ancient waltz from some country that has changed names numerous times in history, I cheer wholeheartedly back.
Oh my! What an incredibly poetic comment. Brought tears to my eyes. I see you, face turned to the sun, jacket falling away, on a park bench, surrounded by crocus and daffodil, the waltz dancing you away
How perfectly lovely. Thank you. I am glad to know you. 🌸🌸
so welcome and sooo spectacular, especially now in snow and ice covered Philadelphia 🙂
thank you Cindy!
Hugs to you, and thank you too, dear Linda. Spring will be shining on you very soon my friend~ 🌸🌸🌸
What an incredible bouquet. Thanks for this post!
Thank you more for appreciating it! 🌸🌸
That’s so beautiful. I love those flowers, Cindy. Happy Spring!
Happy spring to my friend and thank you~ <3 🌸
As close as these fields are to us, we’ve never been there for whatever reason. Next year for sure!
You will be happy you went! <3
Not soon enough….very pretty!
I know, I’ve been reading about the weather. Hang in there~
Awesome! You wouldn’t believe you coincidentally timely this is. I’m putting together images to go along with a song for our church’s handbell choir … and these would beautifully work. Permission to use for private use? (… and “No” is ok).
Of course you may have them. I am honored and pleased you asked. I love imagining how you would use them with your church handbell choir. How lovely! 🌸
there is something about flowers that makes one smile. Planting season for us right now.
Planting is hope in progress. So happy you are engaged in it, and your comment made me smile!
🙂
We don’t often see (like never) so many ranunculas together — this is stunning. Happy spring to you Cindy~~
The fields have 50 acres, although, they are planted in sequence to bloom from March-May. They draw me like a moth to flame every year. I wish you could visit. They also have a stunning, large flower garden, designed by a retired visual arts professor from San Diego State. It is spring beauty sensory overload! You would love it.
Gorgeous! Just amazing 🙂
It is something quite special. Ranunculus are special flowers and tens of thousands of them are amazing!
Wow wow wow Cindy beautiful each one could be a post card. Lovely detail. Thanks for sharing your Spring so beautiful 🌸🌼💛💜
Ah, thank you for such a kind and lovely comment! 🌸🌸
Your photos are always so beautiful Cindy I don’t visit enough and tell you. Have a beautiful Friday! 🌼💛🌼💛
Gorgeous stunning uplifting superb – thank you!
Awww, you just uplifted me! Thank you~ 🌸🌸

My yard is looking like resurrection Sunday!✳️✴️🎉
Glorious! 🌸🌸
Yes!
So vibrant! The joys of spring. Did I mention it was snowing here this morning? 🙂
I have been reading. Stay warm. Those spring flowers are germinating under the snow just waiting to greet you~ 🌸
Cindy we have a better idea. We’re packing up and going to Africa. 🙂
Got your flower mojo out, did ya?! As usual these are such gorgeous flowers and photos my friend. Love, N 🙂 <3
I think I needed to send you some flowers my friend, since you are always giving everyone so many beautiful ones! 🌸🌸🌸
Awwwwww that so sweet dear Cindy❣️😘

Wunderbar! Frühling lässt ein buntes Band flattern!
Vielen danke mein lieber Freund und Frohe Wochenende! <3 🌸
Wow! 🙂
<3 🌸
Beautiful way to alert us to the coming of spring! Thank you, as I’m often oblivious to the passage of time. Just as with last year, your images of beautiful blooms (and I just love ranunculus) is like a pleasant alarm clock. Today, Nikita and I went outside to see the new leaves on our persimmon tree! 🙂
Ohhh, you can make persimmon cookies! Happy Spring to you and Nikita~ <3 🌸
Just Awesome cindy…:-)
Ahh, so kind & so appreciated! 🌸
Oh the colours….. so beautiful!
Thank you and so very pleased you enjoyed! 🌸
Great pictures. Wonderful colors 🙂

Please watch the beauty of spring fever from a very talented lady, Cindy.
You are a sweetheart and I am grateful for your thoughtfulness!~ 🌸🌸
I always loved them, they look like miniature peonies.
Yes! And I love peonies too, but can’t grow them in my region. Happy Friday my friend~ 🌸🌸
Absolutely marvelous, Cindy. 🙂 — Suzanne
So happy you think so & cheers to you! 🌸
Thank you for the HOPE you created here Cindy.. such beautiful flowers.. May we all add colour into the breath of Spring within our hearts.. Love and Blessings..
And a Happy St Patrick’s Day to you also.. <3
Thank you for catching the hope and sending it back! And Happy St Paddy’s Day to you too! 🌸🌸
🙂
Wow! What a beautiful flower and to have fields of them to lie down, play and soak up the love and colors! XD Thanks Cindy!
It remarkable how therapeutic spending time in a garden like this is. Anyone who is feeling low should go spend time here, or in a similar garden bursting with spring flowers. It is good for our psyches, spirits & soul! Happy Friday Brad~ 🌸🌸
Wow. Needed that bit of Spring as I look out my window at a few feet of snow. Thanks.
I can’t get over the snow photos I am seeing! Stay warm. Spring is coming~ 🌸🌸
NOAA has promised a warmer than normal Spring. So far it is colder than normal not just for Spring but for Winter. It is still very white here. Enjoy your warmer weather.
Hope it warms up soon for you as well my friend~ <3
How incredibly perfect nature can be. And how incredibly beautiful are your photos.
I know you have been here, so you know what it feels and looks like. Happy Friday to you Dor~ 🌸
An “AHHHHHHH” for my eyes….thank you so much for capturing and sharing this incredible beauty. Mother nature is indeed the best florist on the planet 🙂
Mother Nature has no peer on this planet. I love her completely and am glad you do too! 🌸🌸
My favorite time of the year, seeing your gorgeous spring flowers. This was a treat Cindy – love them all.
So happy you do Mary & cheers to you my friend~ 🌸

Lovely!🤗🤗🤗
Soon Vancouver will be bursting wish spring flowers. They wait all winter and bloom more enthusiastically because of it! Happy weekend Rebecca! 🌸🌸
Happy Happy Weekend!! Life is so precious!
you always have such intense colours in your shots Cindy! A nice colour change!
I used no enhancement with these either. One really can’t improve on a spring flower. I imagine Tofino is stunning in the spring~
You shoot with good glass.To be honest Tofino is stunning even in the rain.
The grandeur of Nature.
Indeed! It cannot be matched. 🌸
Oh the beauty of Spring flowers. :O)
Amen to that! They are hope with roots~ 🌸
They are, Cindy. Like the sun, and beautifully scented, too. :O)
Be well my friend & cheers to you~ <3
Likewise. ‘O)
¿Es tu jardín? Es una maravilla de la naturaleza tan llena de color y vida. Un abrazo, amiga, y sigue disfrutando de este paisaje tan precioso >3
Este no es mi jardín. Ojala lo fuera! Es una operacion de negocios cerca de mi casa. Tan feliz que disfrutaron y tienen un fin de semana maravilloso mi amiga! 🌼🌼
That is something to look forward to, Cindy. I must plant some Ranunculus. They are so colourful.
Leslie
They are my favorite flower. So incredibly delicate. The bulbs should produce for you each year~ 🌼
Now that’s a bonus.
<3 🌼
Beautiful. To show you how topsy-turvy the weather has become, my poppies (here in the southern hemisphere) just started flowering three weeks ago!
Wow! A bit scary isn’t it. We have over a week above 80F!
These are amazing flowers, thank you for sharing, Cindy. 🙂
I wish I could give you a vase full Ranu! 🌼🌼
Beautiful.
So kind. Thank you~ 🌼
Cindy, these are fabulous — thank you for showing them to those of us who haven’t seen them in full bloom!!
I so wish I could send you some! Thank you Debbie & hugs to you~ 🌼🌼
With all the rain on the West Coast, you should have another great Spring bloom. – Oscar
Yes, we are having it now, and rain is expected next week which i wonderful!
Well, it certainly isn’t spring here, yet! Nonetheless, I love the post, and your shots are superior. Looks like later Monday Toronto time for the Grizzlies post, but I’ve added a Coyote. Will link to both. 😀
I am looking forward to seeing what your creative and inventive mind devises! Hugs to you Resa~

Spring fever is good to have! Happy Saturday Ann~ 🌼
Wonderful 🙂 Such beautiful flowers do not grow with us unfortunately.

Many thanks my friend & be well~ 🌼
Just what I needed. Beautiful flowers. The Spring fever got me 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Beautiful!
Grazie mille!
Such colours! They are so vibrant that they make my humble daffodils look washed-out in comparison.
Thank you Sarah, but I love your daffodils too! 🌼
Oh Cindy! This is exactly what I wanted to see! Spring is just around the corner 🙂 Hugs!
Yes it is springing up all over! Hugs back to you Christy~ 🌼
Wow, these are so lovely. A great reminder that the flowers will return again.
They do, bringing us hope in petals! Happy weekend Ali~ 🌼

Flowers are springing up all over The Holler. They are celebrating the end of the drought. I hope spring comes soon for you my friend~ <3 🌼
Spring arrived early, I think! It has been beautiful here on the Washington Coast since St. Patrick’s Day…birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and it is delightfully warm.
Thank you for your kind words and thoughts – *HUGS* to you and yours…cheers!
🙂
So many WOW’s Cindy. Thank you bringing a big smile to my day 💐
Aww, your comment just gave me a big smile, so thank you!
Beautifully captured!
Thank you Robert & Happy Spring! 🌼
You too!
Wow… breathtaking captures, Cindy! The field is unbelievably beautiful. Is it because of the recent rain? 🙂
It is beautiful every year, but this year it is exceptional because of all the rain. Thank you for noticing Amy & cheers to you my friend~ 🌼🌼
🦋🐞🌿🌺🌼
These are stunning. I particularly love the peachy one near the end. Thanks.
The pale peach is gorgeous. I bought some for my kitchen and they are blooming now. Wish I could give you some! 🌼
thank you for bringing picture of the beautiful ranunculus. I love them, one of my favourite flowers. Happy weekend!
You are more than welcome! They are one of my favorites as well! Thank you for stopping by & cheers to you~ 🌼🌼
Absolutely stunning photographs!
Ahhh, such a kind and most appreciated comment. Thank you Kitt~ 🌼
Glorious spring fever, Cindy! Looking at you pictures, I have a strong feeling it is contagious 🙂
It is! Come on over!!! 🌼🌼
Gorgeous!
Mille grazie! 🌼
Welcome!
It is a luxury to look at your photos. They give colors to life and it is an enjoyment for the eyes.
Thank you so much. You make me happy I posted them! 🌼🌼
Wow! Ranunculus are gorgeous flowers, but I’ve never seen a field of them. Breathtaking photos!
Thank you so much! It is breathtaking to see tens of thousands of them in multiple fields. Happy Sunday to you~ 🌸
Gorgeous, Cindy. Thanks for the bit of “sunshine” on this cold, gray day. 🙂
You are most welcome my friend and hope it warmed you up a bit! 🌸
Yes, thanks! This late winter is dreary and persistent, but thanks for the sunshine. 🙂
magnificent!
Merci beaucoup mon ami! 🌸
Merci beaucoup!
We should all plant one flower (at least) this spring to keep the bees happy and more. I volunteered planting saplings with my son (age 7) one spring. Why not flowers. We don’t have to be part of a planting group. Run solo. It will make you feel good! 🌹🌹🌹
It is good for the bees, good for you, good for everyone. I agree wholeheartedly. Enjoy life, help the world, plant flowers! 🌸🌸
So very beautiful! Our little daffodils (usually the first to bloom) had bloomed early with our unseasonably warm weather. Then they were beaten down by a hailstorm and a week later by freezing rain and snow. It makes me very sad. I know they’ll be back at some point but still…..
Your pictures are so beautiful and cheery! Love it!
Yes, that would make me sad too. I heard the cherry blossoms all froze in DC too, Hopefully them bloom even brighter for you soon Linda. Hugs to you & roses too~ 🌹🌹
What a gorgeous way to welcome in spring, Cindy. –Curt
Thank you Curt & Happy Spring to you!
Quel plaisir passant des yeux au cœur … merci
Ahh, quel beau commentaire! Merci et felicitations ~
🙂 Merci … Thanks for sharing
Nice Day to Us
Beautiful! Such amazing flowers, it’s like you captured their light bursting from the inside. Have you ever photographed with infrared film? I did a long time ago – and the light emitted from anything that is alive always glows. Such a precious sight! Happy Spring Equinox to you!
Magnificent photographs of Spring flowers they make me feel happy looking at them.
Your comment made me happy, so we’re even. Cheers to you Charlotte & some roses too!
🌹🌹
I could do with some roses too. 😉
Mee too, Charlotte! 🙂 Spring in Europe is way behind you, we still have weeks to go to see beauties like this. Sigh.
💐💐💐💐
Thanks 😊🙏
😊🙏
Hi Cindy,
I tried to leave a comment earlier and it didn’t work. Your photos are luminous! Have you ever photographed with infrared photography? I did a long time ago and the light from the inside of the live subjects/objects was brilliant. I think you’ve captured that here. Happy Vernal Equinox!
Ka
I never have, but it sound fascinating. I will google it. Thanks for he tip and cheers to you~ 🌹🌹
These blooms are simply gorgeous!
You are very kind & most appreciated too! 🌹
Bonjour ou bonsoir CINDY belle Flower
A bientôt l’arrivée du printemps

Thank you Graham. Means a lot because I am so impressed with English gardens and flowers. I feel this before I land as I see all the green from the sky!
I’m glad it pleased.
P.S. Air Traffic Control have asked if you would please use an aircraft in future. Last time, one poor chap spilled his tea which meant a formal inquiry. 😀
I suppose it left tea stains in St James Parks, or quelle horreur, Windsor Gradens!!
The squirrels have gone a darker brown. 🙂
I hope you love the Coyote and Bears post!!!!!
I was just over there and I was blown away. I love it! The art was amazing and the story perfect! I think all children everywhere would really love this. Thank you so much dear one. You touched my heart. <3 <3 🌹🌹
Absolutely gorgeous!
Grazie mille! 💐
What a gorgeous range of colors Cindy!! I’ve heard about the Carlsbad flower fields, but now been down to see them. Looks like you caught them at the perfect time!!
They time plant the fields, so they will be blooming through May, with peak blooms in April. They have other flower gardens too, so the impact all together is really special. I hope you do visit sometime~ 💐
So amazing Cindy!! Are they for flower markets– or for collecting seeds? An ocean of spring… thanks for your photos!!
Thank you Rhonda. They are for both, but mostly for the seeds!
beautiful beautiful Cindy!
So happy you enjoyed this magical place Rhonda!
Enjoy your travels Cindy!! (and send more pics!) xo
Oh yes Cindy, it’s definitely spring in these gorgeous photos. <3

My next challenge is to start a garden. My mom had the perfect green thumb. She could resurrect a dead plant with ease.
I inherited a green thumb from my grandfather. Hopefully you did to from your mother. Happy gardening!
Beautiful flowers Cindy.

Hi Cindy! Happy Spring! The pictures are gorgeous. Ranunculus are one of my favorite flowers. I feel like I died and went to flower heaven––beautiful! 😉
Wonderful! They are my favorites too! Happy Spring Vashti~ <3
Amazing flower photographs , such great detail.
I was going to say beautiful and amazing..already taken. 🌸 I do like the way you showed the open fields and a single flower…. so good! 🌸🌸🌸
Those are gorgeous and remind me of a variety of flowers mixed together! Poppies, roses, gardenias and camellias. xo <3
