Carlsbad, CA. In the 1920's, a horticulturist by the name of Luther Gage brought some Ranunculus Seeds from England to Southern California to see if they would grow in the sandy soil next to the Pacific Ocean. It worked!

Unbelievable capture Terry, I don't believe I've ever seen a more colorful picture then this one. Your POV is just perfect and I'm really glad that you decided to leave the tractor and little bit of sky in the picture as I think it just adds a little extra to it. #11043418
