Tulip heads are still tightly closed and green, protecting the delicate petals inside. The warmth of mid-April convinced the leaves to sprout and and the stem to push up, but the cold and frost stopped the flower from opening. The warm sun of Monday and Tuesday afternoons was not enough to convince them to unfurl.
A few daffodils opened last week, revealing sun-bright trumpets to announce spring is on the way. Two nights of below zero temperatures made them droop, and I thought they would be finished. But morning and rain brought them back, and more will bloom soon.
