The Flower Fields
If color can brighten up your day, then go to the Carlsbad Flower Fields and it will make you really happy. With over 50 acres, The Flower Fields mainly grow giant ranunculus (the Tecolote Giant Ranunculus aka Persian Buttercup or Ranunculus Asiatic) but only 1-2% of the flowers are cut and sold. The flowers are grown primarily to harvest the bulbs (really rhizomes for you gardener types), which they harvest between 6-12 million a year.
