    Our tulips are not blooming because they need sunlight and until the sprout
    is long enough and comes out of the soilthey can't have any sunlight because
    the soil blocks the sunlight from getting to the bulb so it can grow. But
    underground it is still growing. We know because we dug up a tulip bulb and
    we saw that the sprout was growing along with the roots. We predict that
    the tulips will bloom earlier than usual because of this warm weather. Our
    daily soil temperaturs is about 70 degrees.
