 s for children of all ages.  Artists are invited to photograph and paint i
 n the garden on Friday\, February 26 and Sunday February 28.\nThis year's 
 Daffodil Daydreams Celebration is noteworthy because Filoli was recently s
 elected as an American Daffodil Society (ADS) Display Garden\, becoming th
 e only designated daffodil display garden on the west coast. Filoli was ch
 osen because its extensive daffodil collection has significant historical\
 , public service and educational focuses.  Filoli's collection includes we
 ll-maintained daffodils grown by the tens of thousands in many different l
 andscape situations\, representing 122 different cultivars.  \nFiloli's co
 llection is historically significant\, because the original daffodils were
  planted during what is referred to as the 'Great Daffodil Renaissance' of
  the early 20th century\, when estate owners like the DuPonts\, Rockefelle
 rs and Bourns (at Filoli) were mass-planting hillsides and whole fields of
  daffodils in the English landscape style.  Filoli grows 37 historic varie
 ties of daffodils that are registered with the Royal Horticultural Society
  from before 1940.  This year Filoli will have a new display of early bloo
 ming miniature daffodils planted for children.  This display represents 13
  different daffodil cultivars and a total of 7\,000 bulbs planted in shall
 ow containers which will be displayed by the Visitor and Education Center\
 , where they can be viewed close-up.\n\nStart time: Fri-Sat: 10am-3:30pm\n
