They're blooming!!! Finally our tulips have bloomed and we have the Growing Degree Day information figured to share. Our tulips emerged on March 19th after having accumulated 132 GDDs worth of heat. We went from 35.5 to 132 during that week which was the first really warm week all spring. Our tulips bloomed on April 19th with 427 GDDs. The week they bloomed we went from 296 to 427 GDDs with our first really hot week of the spring. It was in the 80's for 4 days that week. Our blooms lasted until Thursday last week when it rained and the wind blew and the petals were knocked off.
