We are delighted to announce that the snow covering our tulip bed has finally melted and our tulips have emerged. The tulips first showed their GREEN shoots on St.Patrick's Day(March 17) which makes it easy to remember the date. Everyone is excited at School #20 and the Albany Visitors Center... our tulips are growing and spring is here! We can only guess what date our tulips will bloom. The students at School #20 have been doing a great job plotting all the data from the tulip garden updates on a big map in the school hallway. Green and red stars mark the emerging and blooming tulip gardens.We are so happy to put a green star on Albany. We had almost 100 inches of snow this winter. The 2003 Tulip Queen and her court are also pleased with the emerging tulips. They had fun helping us with the project and they can't wait to see the Red Emperor tulips bloom. May 9-11 is the annual Tulip Festival here in town...do you think our tulips will bloom before the festival???????
