One of the main reasons I avoid them even though I love the way they look. Spring in Ohio has been hit with episodes of unseasonable cold temps for the past several years. Fall seems to be getting longer but spring? Mother Nature is really irritable in April and May.

That being said my tulips are looking happy again. Used frost cover on the garden beds I had planted - all good. The couple of inches of wet snow was the real (unwanted) surprise.
