A 55-acre (22.2-hectare) rainbow of blooming Ranunculus flowers thrill roadtrippers traveling along the San Diego Freeway. The season for the flower fields is short, but boasts the greatest display in early to mid-April. Pathways take you up the gently sloping fields, where most people stand in silent awe, taking in the vibrant hues of the giant flower carpet that unfurls before them. A large tent serves as the hospitality center gift shop, offering a rich array of blooming plants to take home, souvenir cups, tote bags, clothing, and packages of the Ranunculus corms to plant in your own garden.
