Amador County – Michael Ryan and the Ryan families announced that McLaughlin’s Daffodil Hill has finally opened for 2012, its 72nd season.

Ryan said rain and snow are gone and sunshine is bringing out our flowers. Ryan said: “Our blooms are beautiful, and Easter will be a great time to visit our Ranch. We expect our flowers to last for at least another week (or more), as long as Mother Nature cooperates.”

Daffodil Hill is a 540-acre ranch with six acres dedicated to daffodils. As many as 300 varieties and 500,000 annual blooms, if weather cooperates. Visitors are welcome to walk through at no cost, though donations are accepted, and go to planting more flowers.

The Ryans encourage visitors to call the recorded phone message at (209)296-7048 for weather updates. Daffodil Hill is located at 18310 Rams Horn Grade in Volcano. Daffodil Hill is open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather permitting.
