Laurel Ridge Daffodils Will Be Later This Year 

We just found the first daffodil to bloom this Spring at Laurel Ridge daffodils in the Northfield section of Litchfield.

(At least it seems to be the first. We stopped by around lunchtime today, 4/2, and didn’t see any others in bloom.)

This year’s display of tens of thousands of daffodils/narcissus off Wigwam Road will be later to bloom and peak. We looked back and last year and there were enough daffodils in bloom by the first weekend of April to merit a visit, and the peak was the first weekend in May.

Plan your route on Google maps.

Prominent Litchfield residents Remy and Virginia Morosani first planted 10,000 daffodil bulbs in the early 1940s, and plantings have continued and expanded over the years.

The Morosani family established The Laurel Ridge Foundation to oversee and manage the display that welcomes the public, though visitors are advised to be respectful, follow the rules, and take care to honor protocols for parking along the narrow country road.
