\"\"<\/a>My most recent bee-bothering<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve been to the tulip festival in Mount Vernon a few times, and while I was aware that earlier in the season there were also fields of irises and daffodils, I hadn’t actually made the trek to go see them until this year. I think that’s the case with a lot of people, as La Conner has recently dubbed the period before the tulips as the official daffodil festival in the effort to extend the flower tourism season. If you plant them, they will come…unless they don’t know about it.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Roozengaarde (the place where you can actually go and buy tulips during the tulip festival) plants more acres of daffodils than tulips–100 acres more! And as a bonus, before the tulips have bloomed, you can easily park in their lot and walk through their gardens for free. Admission is normally $5 so it’s not like you’re saving a ton of money, but it is a handy place to walk through if you want to take some selfies in front of a field of daffodils with Mount Baker in the distance. The effect of so many yellow flowers is undeniably cheery (try to deny it! I dare you!). It’s like spring up and slapped you in the eyeballs in the nicest way possible.<\/p>\n

If you want to experience the daffodil festival, they’re holding some events through the month of March<\/a>, including The Dandy Daffodil Tweed Bike Ride & Picnic<\/a> which sounds delightful<\/em>. Plus it’s late enough in the month that you’ll be bicycling around tulips as well!<\/p>\n
