Any Colour You’d Like … as long as it’s yellow! 🌼 We still have thousands of daffodils in bloom at Mount Hope Cemetery, and our photo contest is accepting entries until May 15. If you’ve not seen the project yet or still need to take photos for the content you still have some time. Swing by this week and see thousands of flowers against the backdrop of America’s first municipal Victorian cemetery.

May the Fourth be with you, from the Daffodil Project at Mount Hope. When the flowers started blooming in mid-March, we did not expect to see this much yellow in May!

Was wonderful to see so many people show up on Sunday for Daffodil Days 2026 - Fourth Annual. We had an alphorn player, bagpipes and so much more. A big shout out to Phi Kappa Psi - New York Theta Chapter a social fraternity at Rochester Institute of Technology. They cleared out a large amount of invasive shrubs and created a new path up on the hill. Their volunteer help was greatly appreciated. They live up to their mission: "We all aim to mold better men and improve our community through philanthropic endeavors." They sure have helped at Mount Hope Cemetery - Rochester Daffodil Project Roc!
