The Carlsbad CA. Flower Fields have acres and acres of Ranunculus in
bloom. Tremendous Photo Ops for landscape and close-ups.

100% Correct Bob.

But this is a Papaver (poppy).

PS - The great bulk of the fields is Ranunculus, a flower that was largely
developed there from the original wild plant with one petal and very limited
coloration to what we have today. In addition to the Ranunculus however are
gardens with roses and Poinsettias --- plus areas near the entrance where
you'll find many flowers on display including some of these Papavers.
