Virginia Living Museum staff member Darl Fletcher reports that the first Journey North tulips planted in the museum's Children's Learning Garden were noticed emerged today. The Children�s Learning Garden began with Journey North tulips planted in Fall 1998. Our average date of emergence from the first 20 years of data is 2/7, so this year the shortest tulip emerged 2 days earlier than average. One tulip's leaves were 2 inches tall, the other one-half inch tall. The tallest tulip may have been from a previous year's bulb that was missed when clearing the bed in spring, so the short tulip is the photo submitted.
