Would anyone be able to explain why suddenly a crop of spring Tulips would appear without stems, or with short stems? I have a friend in the UK, where the spring bulbs are now beginning to bloom. In the southern regions, the winter was unusually wet and warm this year; temperatures didn't drop below 40 degrees all season long. In prior years, this person had no trouble, but it was colder and dryer. I can see blasting and I can see totally blind results, but I don't understand why they would bloom but have no stems. These were a fresh crop planted last autumn, just like every year. --------------------------------- It's here! Your new message! Get new email alerts with the free Yahoo! Toolbar.
