3. Status as of March 9, 2010 from RoozenGaarde website: "Many of our daffodil fields are brimming with bright yellow color, and the fields planted with Dutch Master are now in full bloom! Daffodil field #11 (located on the east side of Best Rd) is especially spectacular. Make sure to check it out if you are in the area! Due the unseasonably warm winter weather, this is one of the earliest daffodil blooms we have ever recorded. All fields planted with Dutch Master and Flower Carpet - both yellow trumpet varieties - are showing color. Ice Follies is also blooming in field #21."
See RoozenGaarde website for all the latest information and updates to the status printed here, including a blooming map of the fields.
