Colorful Blooms
More tulips are blooming as May approaches. And some tulips in gardens farther north are just beginning to emerge. What other signs of the season are you noticing? This spring, report from your Tulip Test Garden when tulips emerge and bloom.
Tulips Emerging
In northern latitudes, this year's spring has felt more like winter. Some Journey North gardeners are just starting to report emerging tulips.

Throughout the U.S., tulip blooms are spreading joy and adding color to the landscape.

Reminder About Reporting
If you planted a Tulip Test Garden last fall, don’t forget to report twice: when tulips emerge and when tulips bloom. And if you report this spring but did not report your planting last fall, please let us know in the comments field of your observation.
