Daffodil Hill

I've been wanting to go to Daffodil Hill for years and today Quentin and I finally went! There were a few reasons I chose to go today.

1. It's Opening Day!

2. Irish Days is going on in Murphys today, so I figured the crowds would go there instead of Daffodil Hill.

3. We're supposed to get a big storm tonight, so I thought it would be best to see the flowers before they were buried under a few inches of snow.

Daffodil Hill was founded in 1887 in Volcano, CA. There are six acres of daffodils, which include about 300 varieties and about 500,000 blooms annually.

Here's a picture of some daffodils. Their color reminds me of sherbet ice cream. I don't know why.

Here's a little cabin behind a field of daffodils.

Here's a peacock strutting his stuff. When he shook his feathers they made a buzzing sound. It was really cool.

And here's a shot that my sister would have wanted me to take. I wish she were here to take one herself.

This shot is for my Mom. It's not from Daffodil Hill, but it's a redbud bush that was along the side of the raod on the way to Daffodil Hill.
