To
answer our question this week, "What reasons can you think
of to explain why the gardens circled have not yet bloomed?" we
turn to weather maps. They hold the key to many of the events we
see in the tulip garden. Click on the tulip map to study a larger
version. Then look at the weather maps below to compare and question
how weather and climate can affect our gardens. |

the minimum temperature map above. Describe what the aqua-blue

interesting pattern. What do you wonder about the pattern? |

The
map of average temperatures also has an interesting pattern. How
does it compare to the tulip garden map?
