| The Narcissus Plantings |
The Laurel Hill Foundation's Narcissus Plantings offer a fine hillside display in mid spring. There are in total some 50 to 100 species of Narcissus, and a nice range of them can be seen here. The current stage of the bloom is END. May 14, 2009 The last few blooms are still here. And you can have them all to yourself. 
April 29, 2009 Late in the season now — many of the common varieties are gone. So while the sweeping views of thousands of flowers are past, some stunning varieties are now in bloom. 
April 29, 2009 The variety of blooms indicates that the peak is upon us. 
April 26, 2009 Most varieties are now blooming, thanks to several days of unusually warm weather. 
April 21, 2009 The heavy spring rains caused some damage to early blooms, but will greatly benefit later varieties. 
April 17, 2009 The blooms of the hardy early varieties are the first sign of spring in this quiet landscape. 
April 16, 2009 The new season has begun.
