Visitors Return to California's Carlsbad Flower Fields
The famous Flower Fields in Carlsbad, California is now open to the public. People can again take pictures while standing in meter-high blossoms of every imaginable color.
Flower Fields was closed for most of 2020 because of coronavirus restrictions. However, falling cases and California's move to lessen restrictions means the fields can reopen for a few visitors.
"I am so happy we're open again," said manager Fred Clarke. "Last year we were nine months in and we had to mow," he said.
The fields are 55 kilometers north of San Diego. They grow more than 70 million flowers. Every year when they bloom, people come from around the country to see the great show of color.
The Flower Fields are open to visitors until May 9. It is also a working farm that sells flowers. Many will be sent to florists and stores that sell flowers, Clark explained.
They create their own variety of ranunculus, a colorful, flowering plant also known as the buttercup. Every year they try to improve the size of the flower and its color.
"So, every year we believe it's getting better and better," he said.
Artie Creighton is from Corona, California. He said, "It does feel like things are easing a...bit. It's just great to see the beauty and just get out and enjoy a day with my wife."
"This is one of the first times we've been out in a long time," he added.

美国加州花田重开引来踏青游客
加州卡尔斯巴德著名的花田现在对公众开放。游客可以再次站在一米高的色彩缤纷的花朵旁拍照。
由于冠状病毒的限制措施，2020年的大部分时间，花田都处于关闭状态。然而，感染病例下降和加州减少限制措施的举措意味着该花田可以重新开放、接待少数游客。
“很高兴我们又能开门迎客了，”经理弗雷德·克拉克说道。他说：“去年，我们9个月都无法开园，我们得好好修剪植物。”
该花田位于圣地亚哥以北55公里处。他们种植了7000万株朵花。每年花开的时候，全国各地的人们都来观看这场盛大的“万紫千红秀”。
花田一直对游客开放到5月9日。这里也是一处销售鲜花的农场。克拉克解释称，很多鲜花会被送往花店和售花的商店。
他们改良了各种毛茛品种，这是一种色彩斑斓的开花植物，也被称为“毛茛”。每年他们都试图改良花朵的大小和颜色。
他说：“所以，我们相信每年的景致会越来越好。”
阿蒂·克莱顿(Artie Creighton)来自加州科罗纳市。他说：“确实感觉疫情有所缓和。看到这里的美景真是太惬意了，我可以跟妻子在户外享受一整天。”
“这是我们这么长时间以来第一次外出，”他补充道。
