The daffodil season has arrived and gone in much of the U.S., but we’re still looking forward to our daffodils here in New England (we’ve seen reports of daffodils on Cape Cod and in western Massachusetts, and we have seen an early daffodil or two along the streets of Cambridge).

Want to know the dates for your favorite daffodil festival and field in 2008? We invite you to visit our resource website (daffodilfestivals.com) which lists every North American daffodil festival, garden, and field that we know about.

Next year, we hope to expand the listing to daffodil festivals around the world.
