Hello Journey North,

This is our first answer to a Challenge question this year. We are a class
of fourth and fifth graders at Fyle Elementary School in Henrietta, New
York. We talked about Challenge Question #2. Here are our thoughts:

David thinks if you plant tulips earlier in the Fall they will come up
earlier in the Spring.
He thinks this is so because tulips need a certain amount of time to
bloom. They take the time even if you plant them late. He thinks tulips
work the same way roses do.

Ashley thinks tulips will come up at their time of the Spring whether you
plant them late or early. She thinks its like the tulips having a
birthday. It comes at the same time each year no matter what.
