A host of 1,000 Dutch Master bulbs in classic yellow that spelled out her first name, \u201cJoy\u201d appeared on the rocky hillside. Measuring 32 feet tall by 64 feet wide, the dancing daffodil crowd continues to appear as one of the earliest spring blooms.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2009, more daffodil words have been planted, two of which are the 41 foot wide by 21 foot tall, \u201cPeace\u201d in all-white trumpet daffodils, and \u201cLove,\u201d from top to bottom 83 feet long from top to bottom and about 13 feet wide, which shows off a color mix of orange, white and yellow.<\/p>\n<p>Joy passed away in March 2014, yet the Zamoiski family\u2019s daffodil spirit continues to spark heart-pleasuring creativity. This spring, 1,600 bulbs unveiled their show in the wooded area near the entrance to the property. The design features a pink ribbon in honor of cancer research.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Nancy Zamoiski estimates there are about 42,000 daffodils on the property, and 150 different varieties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mother loved the visitors,\u201d Nancy shared, and added, \u201cEspecially the children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each spring, the family designates two long weekends for the public to stroll the grounds. The second weekend, April 29, 30 and May 1, concludes the 2016 \u201cDaffodil Daze,\u201d and will be open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. There is no charge, but the family accepts donations for future bulb plantings.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, find \u201cDaffodil Daze Candor New York\u201d on Facebook or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/dotgale1231.wix.com\/daffodildaze\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/dotgale1231.wix.com\/daffodildaze<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story starts about 40 years ago when Joy Zamoiski planted daffodils on the bank of a pond located at 292 Candor Hill Rd. in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
