    Finally I have something I can show you all. I put them in a vase, but now they are closing..... Do they close at night and open during the day??? Did I kill them????

    I hope so.. My hubby has a little bulb garden at the bottom of the hill. I should be able to snatch some of his and spread them all around this year. He may never notice. *HE HE*

    He will not notice as long as you convince him your rabbits have shovels. :)

    Barb, they are beautiful. Mine close up at the end of the day or on cloudy days they don't seem to open, I think it may be temperature and light quality that opens and closes them.

    @Barb, I like the pink and yellow colors of the tulips. Have you gotten other tulip bulbs planted?
