Status
The March 21, 2012 note on the website bloom map page says: "As of Wednesday March 21 2012. Our daffodil fields have been a little slow to show their color due to some chilly temperatures through the month of March. Field 9 is the first field to be "lit up" on the Bloom Map, but it is not yet to the point of its fullest bloom. Field 10 is a smaller daffodil field in its early stages of bloom, but we have also lit up this field just this week. We have a couple of other fields beginning to show a slight haze of yellow color, but we do not anticipate lighting up any other daffodil icons until the weekend at the earliest. Photos of our fields can be viewed on our Tulips.com Facebook page: www.facebook.com/tulipsdotcom."
