Some previous resident of my apartment at some point planted tulips. According to Wikipedia, tulips are “spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes.” What this turns out to mean is that they flower in spring (spring-blooming), live more than 2 years (perennial), don’t have permanent woody stems (herbaceous), and have bulbs as storage organs (bulbiferous geophytes). I’ve never fertilized the tulips, or replanted baby bulbs, but they’ve been coming up every year I’ve been in my apartment. The last couple years, only two or three tulips have survived what I think has to be deer, but this year I got a record eight tulips. Two red, five yellow, and one red with yellow edges.
