Don’t hold back! If you have never done it before, just do it!
Bring your daffodil or daffodils to the public show of daffodils at the Ranch House at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park on Thursday, Apr 2 from 2-4 PM or on Friday, Apr 3 from 8-10 AM. You can get help from some knowledgeable daffodilians, i.e., daffodil lovers, to identify the name of your flower or even enter in the unknown name category! Youth exhibitors can get help as well. Youth can exhibit on their own daffodil or as a group – like a classroom that has planted a bulb in their home garden or at school.
Photographers are also invited to enter their daffodil photos in several categories within the same entry time span.
All employees of the Washoe County Regional Parks and Open Space and members of the May Arboretum Society are invited to enter special classes just for them, as well as the general classes of the show.
There are rules to follow, so check out the show schedule here:
Show Schedule Link (Don’t let it scare you, there will be helpers!)
On Friday, all exhibitors must be off the floor by 10 AM because that’s when the judging starts! The best displays will receive ribbons! You can see the winners and all the rest of the entries during the public viewing hours.
The Public is invited. Admission is Free.
Friday, April 3, 2026 — 1 PM to 4 PM
Saturday, April 4, 2026— 9 AM to 4 PM
Be sure to visit the Wilbur D. May Arboretum and Botanical Garden’s thousands of daffodils throughout the Kleiner Oak Grove Loop as well! Daffodils in Bloom
