We've had several very warm days that seem to have hurried the season for the daffodils and tulips. In previous years, it seemed we had to wait and wait for the buds to open. This year, they were almost in fast motion once the tulips burst through the ground! Our tulips in the north garden have blossoms before those planted in the west garden. They are more protected from wind than the west garden. We have had many people mention how great it is to see those glorious spring flowers as they enter the building in the morning after having such a weary winter. We hope everyone is enjoying their spring gardens, too!
