Ms. Wiggins' third grade class, 3B, observed that 1 of our 22 tulips has bloomed. It is about 28 1/2 cms. Student described it using the following words, yellow inside, orange on the outside. They also observed some of the bulbs had barely formed and dried up, the leaves felt waxy, moist, rubbery, and some have little hairs on them! The top of the bulbs are red and prickly. Some of our tulips have what we think are bulbletts (a smaller one growing next to another). When we watered them the water beaded up on them. 17 tulips have emerged out of 22. All 5 of our experimental ones have emerged! (planted upside down, without bone meal, stripped of its tunic, planted sideways and too shallow and too deep)
