This is the earliest (in six years) that our tulips have emerged. Of course, this is the warmest winter we have had in my teacher's life time, which is pretty long. We tried some indoor experiments with our bulbs. We put several bulbs in the refrigerator for six weeks and left some at room temperature for the same amout of time. Then we planted 8 bulbs in a large glass tank; two refrigerated, upside down; two room temperature upside down; two refrigerated, normally; and two room temperature, normally. We also planted four bulbs hydoponically in gravel (two refrigerated, two room temperature). All the refrigerated bulbs are growing nicely, while the room temperature bulbs are not growing or are stunted. The upside down ones can be watched because we placed them up against the glass. It looks really cool.
