Nestled in the hills above the tiny town of Volcano, CA exists an oasis of yellow hues- Daffodil Hill, a ranch owned by the McLaughlin family since 1887. Due to the unseasonably warm weather, they have opened weeks ahead of normal and we were there to frolic in the flowers.

It is estimated that today, Daffodil Hill is carpeted with approximately 300,000 bulbs when in full bloom. We will have to return, another time, to see that cacophony of color.

Daffodil Hill is situated in a beautiful mountain setting in Amador County.  With pine trees, the original 1880’s barn, wagon wheels, gold rush era mining equipment and antique farming implements, it appeals to anyone with a love of nature and history. Flowers are everywhere as are the amazing peacocks.
