I came in at 8 am and there they were! Our first tulips bloomed today in the Children's Learning Garden here at the Virginia Living Museum, Newport News VA! Some of our students who planted these tulips will be in class this afternoon, they will be so thrilled! We will try and get a photo taken this afternoon, let us know how to send you a copy!

Journey North tulips were the first flowers to begin our Children's Learning Garden in 1998. Here's our long term data:
