Alaska Tulips Emerge Palmer, Alaska: May 16 TULIPS!!! Finally, a small group has emerged. We are very excited. I'm not sure when they actually poked up, as the class just returned from a 2-day field trip, but they weren't up Monday. Is is possible for them to bloom before school's out on the 22nd??
