Hello Hope Patch Gardener!
Saturday, April 21, was a very warm, sunny day in Streamwood, with temperatures reaching nearing 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s hard to believe that only 10 days ago we had four inches of snow.
Yesterday, you saw that the tulip blossoms are forming and the outer green leaf surrounding the blossom began to turn color. Today’s post shows photos of both morning and evening progress. (We were gone during the day.) The blossoms are ready to open.Check out the pictures below:

Evening
This is an exciting time! We should see our first blossoms tomorrow. Stay tuned and I’ll share pictures with you as the tulip flowers open for the first time.
All the best,
