We couldn't believe it, but our tulips did bloom. First of all we were worried about the weather. We had ice and snow flurries after our tulips begin to bud. Next, some had been chomped on. Entire buds and stems disappeared. We suspect from the footprints in the tulip bed that they had been eaten by deer, which stay in the woods close to our habitat. We think they might have eaten them because there was no corn in their feeder that we usually fill and the flowers were a lovely green.
