We have very few tulips this year. The class discussed the possible
reasons for this. It could be the unusal amount of rain and cold
that we have had this winter. Maybe it was our location. We plan
to dig up a non-blooming bulb and look at it.

The class went out to our Tulip Garden to see if any
tulips had emerged. To our complete surprise, and absolute joy
we discovered 20 young tulip plants springing up through the wet
leaf-covered ground. One of our students, Kai, guessed the date.

It was a long winter with snow covering our garden. Then the rains
came and finally on March 24th we were able to walk to our garden.
The green leaves were standing tall throughout the garden. The
average height was five to six inches tall. One was seven inches
and two were just emerging at 2 inches.

The first of our tulips bloomed during our spring
break. By Monday 16 of the 24 that we planted had bloomed. The
high temperature during that week were in the 50's and we had
some hard rain on 2 of those days. Our winter was colder than
usual this year and we had several snowfalls. I believe the tulips
bloomed week or 2 later this year.
