To my surprised most tulips appear as last year. The daffodils being in their year two bloomed way earlier than the tulips and are not as sharp looking as a week ago.
This morning we woke up to 28F. Frost and sad looking tulips. But the day turned around with temperatures in the low fifties and by afternoon the tulip border was glorious!
