As you know, a few weeks ago I visited the Flower Fields in Carlsbad, California.
One of the lovely features they have for spring is a Sweet Pea Maze.
Once you enter you follow the paths and try to find your way to the exit.
Now I know what you're thinking, this would be a piece of cake to navigate...looks
easy. Well, let me tell you...it is not as easy as you think to find your way out! However,
it is so beautiful being inside the maze that it almost doesn't matter...unless you are in a
hurry. The flowers tower over you and they are glorious. The colors are beautiful and
amazing.
Well, after several wrong turns I finally made it out. It was really kind of fun being lost
in the beauty of these lovely flowers.
I hope you are having a wonderful week.
I am linking over to RoseVignettes for Fresh Cut Friday.

How beautiful. I have never grown sweet peas but just the name is darling♥
Oh how I'd love to get lost in that maze! Sweet peas are one of my favorites. I grow them in areas to just look at and grow them in my veggie garden for cutting. I even have the perfect vase that I keep full of them every summer!
Thanks for sharing all these "sweet" pictures! I can't wait for mine to bloom :)

What a wonderful way to get lost! I don't have a lot of luck with Sweet Peas, but I'm going to try them again this year - I yearn for that Sweet Pea perfume!
I don't think I would want to find my way out, at least for a little bit, it's so beautiful! I love sweet peas I just wish they would last a bit longer.
Wow, those blooms are amazing! I've heard of corn mazes, but never sweet pea mazes! I probably would get into trouble there, as I would want to pick them all!!! Hope you are having a great week. Thanks for sharing such gorgeous photos!!!
Beautiful and I'll bet is smelled great too! Looks like fun:@)
How amazing is
this? They didn't
have the maze ~ or
at least we didn't
know about it ~ in
2000 when we visited.
So much beauty, it's
dazzling!

Ya know- the way my week has been going I think I would like to walk into that maze and get lost permanently...do they deliver lunch if you can give them directions to find you? Seriously? It is beautiful!!! Hugs-Diana
Being lost in a field of flowers sounds like a nice way to spend an afternoon.
Wow, I'm amazed!
I adore sweet peas and rarely ever see them. This is too much beauty to behold. Thank you for bringing us along. I can smell them through the screen!!
You really are a nature girl at heart, aren't you :)

SO so pretty. Love your photographs. I would love to be caught up in a maze of such beautiful flowers. How lucky are you!!!
Well, how wonderful is that?! Much better and prettier than the plain old corn mazes they have here :)
hugs ♥ tricia
I would cheerfully get lost there! Thank you so much for sharing all this loveliness with us!
How absolutely wonderful! I've always had trouble growing Sweet Peas...am trying again right now. One year, yes one year, I did have them and oh so lovely!
The colors here are just amazing; love it!
Love the scent of sweet peas. What a beautiful view! We have some "volunteers" popping up occasionally...left over from the previous happy gardener! Such lovely, fragile colors! Thank you! XO Trish
Oh my, How I would love to go into that maze of sweet peas. Your photographs are glorious. Thank you for sharing such a delightful event. I'll be your newest follower.......
Hope your Saturday is great.

I can only imagine the experience...including the fragrance of those beautiful sweet peas!
Sweet peas are so very pretty, as are your photos. What a wonderful maze.
This must have been a post that disappeared in the whole blogger problem...I know I left a comment before, but it isn't here. I love this sweet peas maze! Those flowers are so beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing your pretty post at Photo Feature Friday :)

Hi Thank you so much for visiting me and leaving such a nice comment.
A sweet pea maze ~ how wonderful! Not only the beauty, but the fragrance must be amazing. I love sweet peas and plant them every year, I can't imagine how much work it must have been to plant all of these. Maybe next year I can go and see them. Have a super day.
I love old fashioned flowers and these sweet peas are just beautiful. I love, too, that you take me to so many places that I would, otherwise, never see. I can almost smell them as I imagine being happily lost in the maze. xoxo
I have never seen so many sweet peas in one place! Your pictures beautifully capture the charm of this sweet flower!!

oh yes...lost in the beauty. What an exciting place to be! It is good to live at a slower pace and pause often to examine the beauty around us...xo
omg this is heaven on earth! i adore sp but because of deer its been 20 years since i have grown them, this is enough to give me cardiac arrest, I LOVE THIS POST!!!
If you're going to get lost...what a beautiful place to be! Gorgeous photos, too!
Omgosh this is beyond beautiful and how cool would this be to go in and get lost!!Kathysue
I just brought my 74 yo mom to the computer screen for a peek. Her birthday flower is the sweet pea and she just loved the maze.
Take good care,
Karen
Wow, that looks like so much fun! The only kind of maze I've heard of is a corn maze, but this is so much better and prettier! I enjoyed you photos!
What glorious beauty! I won't mind being lost in this gorgeous maze! Beautiful pictures and I admire your photographic skill... beautifully captured! Thanks for sharing these glorious pictures with us! Dropping in from Fresh-Cut Friday! Happy 4th to you!~Poppy

What beauty and I can only imagine how fragrant the garden was.
I would love to visit that fabulous nursery. Thanks for sharing.
In our area we have a corn maze. I have never been as I have a phobia of closed in spaces, but I bet this was so much fun. I would rather the Sweet Pea vs. corn stalks anyday. The flower is such a beauty!
Oh My Gosh! That is the coolest thing. I love your photo with the church in the background. Thank you so much for joining in for Fresh-Cut Friday. :) This was an awesome share! :)
