I’m pretty sad about this. I was planning on checking out Daffodil Hill for the first time this year.

The owners of the ranch shared the bad news that they won’t be able to open this season on a post of Facebook:

Friends of Daffodil Hill,

We are sorry to inform you that due to the unusual weather, Daffodil Hill will not be opening for the 2018 season.

We started the season by planting more than 15,000 bulbs in November. We had some warm weather in February which started the bulbs blooming and thought we would have an early opening.

Since the end of February we have had rain, hail, and snow every week. The early flowers are gone and the ones that are up are badly damaged.

We are posting this notice since more rain and snow are expected this week.

We hope that those who have been waiting to visit will be able to make other plans to enjoy the beauty, shopping, wineries, and great restaurants Amador County has to offer. We look forward to seeing everyone next year.

– The Ryan Family
