Thanks, Nick! What I don't understand is while I have a couple of small tulips (out of about 50) in bloom, down the street and around the corner, folks have tulips and poppy's blooming like they are going out of style! I don't get it. I have good nutrients in my ground : (Nice shot, tainkc. I was out earlier today shooting the same subject as they have finally started blooming here in the Columbus area.

Unless it's their orientation to the sun, I don't know. I see the same thing here. There are some across the street that bloomed last Friday. They face south. The one's on our side of the street face west and are just opening today. We also have a number of magnolias that are doing the same thing in various parts of our apartment complex. My wife seems to think it may have to do with how deep the bulbs were planted. Shallower planting equals earlier blooming.

The orientation theory goes out the window at my house. My wife planted some tulip that never get any sun. I have some on the south side of the house that gets lots of sun, but never hardly bloom. The ones that will bloom seem to be taking their time. The bulbs are no more than 4 inches deep. So, who knows?Unless it's their orientation to the sun, I don't know. I see the same thing here.

Mine are just popping out of the ground. I am surprised they made it with the cold winter we had. The freeze push a lot of my fence posts about 6" out of the ground. And my brick sidewalks are heaved up here and there. Going to be a lot of work this spring getting the yard back in shape.:(
