tulips in snow - april 08 (Tulipa (various))

The unexpected snow nearly finished these off before they got started. Immediately after taking the photo (from inside the house), I went outside and gently tapped the snow off. All survived.

It's amazing just how tough they are.

I can remember similar, a few years ago at my previous house and I was amazed to see how they recovered even after their flower stems were bent right over for a couple of days.As soon as the sun came out they stood upright as if nothing had happened
