The Daffodil Principle
Over a period of 35 years, high up in the San Bernadino Mountains of Southern California, 5 acres of beautiful daffodils blossom in the early spring. This special place is known as the Daffodil Garden.
Planting one bulb at a time, year after year, one woman forever changed her world. She created something of extraordinary magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.

"I don't know what I want so don't ask me
'Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down the road, I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
who feels the way I do
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world"
- Taylor Swift, A Place in this World
"You mustn't allow yourself to be chained to fate, to be ruled by your genes. Human Beings can choose the kind of life that they want to live. What's important is that you choose life...and then live." - Naomi Hunter, Metal Gear Solid Video Game
Never be afraid to be a poppy in a field of daffodils.
