Tulips

There are three petals in tulip

It's complicated.

Tulips are perennials ... in the right climate. They will survive several years without replanting.

In adverse climates (the Netherlands is strongly associated with tulips, but the climate is not at all ideal for them), tulips are effectively annuals and are replanted every year.

Tulip bulbs do tend to get "spent" and need to be dug up, dried, and replanted every few years, though, even in climates they like. If this isn't done, they may just produce leaves rather than flowers. If you've had tulips that have bloomed before but are no longer doing so, this may revitalize the flowers.

Many state universities have an agricultural extension office that can provide you with guidelines for your area, or at least direct you to someone who can help. If you're lucky enough to live near a college with a botanical garden, you could try asking them; they're often happy to share their knowledge.

The bulbs will be dry when you plant them but will pick up moisture from the soil that will trigger growth.

When the tulip flower has died, you will notice that the area where flower has attached to the stem swells larger and larger. It is producing seeds.

If you plant the seeds, it can take 5-7 years for the seeds to develop into bulbs which produce the tulip plants. Bulbs are necessary to store food for the next year's stem, leaves, and flower.

It's best to clip off the flowers and at least part of the stem (deadheading) as soon as the flower has died to prevent the seeds from developing. This allows the plant to spend it's energy producing food for bulb storage rather that wasting energy on unnecessary seeds. Bulbs can multiply underground, be separated, and you can use the new bulbs to start more tulip plants in another location.

After a day of working in the garden, our dog started to act strangely. She would not bend her legs, and when she walked in the yard, she stumbled and listed to the right - something we had never seen our 4 year old pup do. She looked drunk. A quick call to the vet (it was a holiday, but she happened to be in the office on another emergency) and off we raced to her office. On the way, our dog had a seizure. It was frightening.

The vet checked her, did blood tests, talked to us about epilepsy and brain tumors as possibilities - although it seemed that poisoning was the most likely diagnosis. We just could not figure out what she might have eaten. My husband mentioned the tulip bulbs we had dug up earlier that day - some of them may have fallen into the grass, and the dog may have eaten some. Apparently, tulips are very toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. They contain a toxin called tulipalin - and while all parts of the plant have it, the bulb holds the most concentrated tulipalin. Check out the ASPCA website for more information on this plant and it's effects on animals.

Daffodils should bloom first.

Yes, you can plant a tulip that has sprouted although obviously it is better to do so before this happens. Take care not to snap the roots while planting, and they will do a lot better than if you don't plant them. You can place it indoors if it can receive enough light, but once flowering has finished, it is best outdoors to enable it to receive the maximum amount of sun. Then it can store up reserves for next year's growth.

A tulip has rhizoids.

Tulip bulbs need the chill of winter soil before they begin growth in the spring. Plant tulip bulbs in the fall. You can plant until the ground freezes, but usually no later than mid December.

i don't actually know but its better to plant them by nov. 26 through nov.30

Tulips are associated with the Netherlands because they are produced a lot there.

Yes, mixed tulip flowers attract bees so long as they are in the colors that the insects in question can see. Honeybees (Apis spp) see black, blue, green, purple and yellow. They will not be attracted to red or to tulips that are nectar- or pollen-poor.

From personal experience with my moth, you will have to be patient. It will take about 27 days for it to be a beautiful, huge, brown moth.

No. Keep your tulip bulbs in a cool, dry place until October or November, depending on where you live, and then plant them about six inches deep in the ground. In areas similar to where tulips evolved, they will recur annually, but in dissimilar environments, they may only bloom once or twice.
