The bulb growers in the valley grow many acres of tulips. Some we are allowed to view. They bloom the last weeks in March and the first few weeks in April. Then the flowers are lopped off so all the energy goes to growing the bulb. When that happens the students at Mount Vernon High School gather up the fallen petals and make gorgeous pictures on the lawn at the school.
This picture is a little blurry but you can get the idea.
