From Independence, KS: Patsy reports, “Mrs. McGrath’s first grade class reports that our tulips have bloomed! They are very pretty and colorful. Some have bloomed and some have not yet. Some are big and some are little. They are red with green leaves. The petals are very soft. Inside the petals they are purple and yellow. One bulb was growing three stems with blooms! We dug it up to confirm they were all from one bulb!” (04/01/2019)

Critters Nibble on Tulips
Students now have the challenge of keeping hungry rabbits from eating their tulips.
From Ashland, OH: Angela comments, “Today, April 16th, one of our tulips is opened up in bloom. A few of the tulips have damage on the leaves where they appear that they were nibbled by a little critter. We have more tulips that have buds. We think more tulips will bloom before Easter.” (04/16/2019)
