The last of the tulips...............................................

In the next few days the beautiful tulips will be beheaded. The the High School kids will quickly pick them up and take them back to school. There they will make beautiful Tulip petal murals on the front lawn of the school. After all. the object of the Bulb Companies is to raise bulbs, not flowers. The green foliage will remain on the plant to give it nourishment and energy and then will be harvested in mid-summer. In the Fall they are shipped all over the world. It is sad to see the beautiful flowers go in their prime but they will be back next year. They will be in different fields as the farmers rotate every year. This summer Cabbage and Kale will probably be planted there or another seed crop. Seed crops will be harvested not this Fall but the following Fall. MB
