We planted a whole lot of tulip bulbs last year and something is eating the leaves. How do we detere it?
What would eat green tulip leaves?
Bunnies and deer and an occasional squirrel!
There is a product that smells of rotten eggs called DEER OFF. You must apply it after every rain or watering, but if you do a good job it works the critters will not touch your bulbs.
I have heard that DRY BLOOD. It is a nutrient for bulbs that you can buy in a garden shop will be offensive to animals also.
Reply:Yes, it is deer. Try putting shavings of the bar soap Irish Spring around the plants. My parents have done this for years and have had great success.
Reply:Deer--they adore tulips.It is difficult to deter.I gave up,and plant daffodils now instead--they hate daffs.
Reply:use bug spray or if its an animal, put a small fence around them
Reply:Its probably deer. To deter them there are lots of products that repel deer. Most of them stink to high heaven. Personally I use fox urine because its the most natural. You can buy this at a local sporting good store that sells hunting supplies.

How close may a tulip poplar be to a house and not pose the threat of root damage to the slab foundation?
Our 10-year-old, 30' tulip poplar tree was about 16 feet away until we added on to the back of our house. Now it's only about 6 feet away. It's beautiful and provides great shade where it is really needed. We don't want to cut it down if it poses no threat to our foundation.
How close may a tulip poplar be to a house and not pose the threat of root damage to the slab foundation?
"Liriodendron tulipifera - tulip poplar: Big with a capital B. Fast growing, attractive, native tree - but don't use it as a street tree or plant it 10 feet away from your house. Not particularly strong-wooded. Large, tulip-like flowers are among the prettiest of all tree flowers. Not tolerant of construction damage, and large beat-up tulip poplars left standing near a new home should be regarded as hazards, not assets."
I'd personnaly recommend more like 15-20' as the average root size for a tree covers its umbrella (size of upper foliage). If you don't have a depth foundation (ie. no basement) you should be alright, but I'd watch closely as you could have problems down the road.

80's toy small flower pot with tulip and fairy is inside after water poured in side of pot, what is this toy?
I had this toy when I was little. I'm thinking mid 80's. It was a small flower pot with a tulip in it. there was a tiny hole in the side of the pot next to the tulip and when you poured water into it the flower woudl magically rise and open up and inside there was a tiny little fairy that could be removed and played with. i really need to know that name of this toy so I can at least find a picture of it, I'd really like to buy the toy itself. It helped my little cousin through the death of her mother back then and I want to buy her one now that we're grown. thanks.

They were called Fairy Winkles.
There is one on eBay with picture (link below)

Are tulip dresses still in style?
My prom is soon and I need to buy a dress, I saw a really nice one that's a tulip dress. It's still pretty fancy and not casual. I know that tulip dresses were kind of popular last summer. Is it still okay for me to wear it for June (4 months from now)? Or has it already gone out of fashion? Please help!
Are tulip dresses still in style?
They're still in :D but it doesn't matter if it's in or not, just wear what you like and what you feel comfortable in
Reply:no
Reply:idk if there in still ask ur freinds if u shuld wear it

Blue tulip/ Mendel theory of heredity, Genetic Questions?
1. At the present time, there is no suck thing as an all-blue tulip. The first one found will be quite valuable. How might a breeder increase the chances of finding a blue tulip?
2. Before Mendel, the chief theory of heredity was "blood-line inheritance." According to this theory, the parents' traits are blended in the offspring, just as two liquids blend when mixed together. Mendel's theory rested on the idea that traits are transmitted by particles (genes) and do not blend. Give evidence in support of the older theory. Then show how the results of Mendel's experiments fail to fit that theory.
Any help with these questions is greatly appreciated!
Blue tulip/ Mendel theory of heredity, Genetic Questions?
1. I can give a cool website where you try and make a "black tulip"..its actually quite tricky and takes me a while to do it, but once you see the "genotpes" shown as colours, its easier.
2. I guess the one that jumps to mind in concomplete dominance where you do get a mixing of parental characters eg red = RR, white = rr and Rr=pink
Also multiple alleles that factor in like skin colour where many alleles contribute and you can get a range anywhere in bwt the parental characters
Basically anything that is NOT controlled by complete dominance. Mendel was lucky ( or clever or both) in that the traits he chose were complete dominance where you show either the dominant or recessive trait. eg round or wrinkled seeds, tall or short......so 3 genotypes and TWO phenotypes
Reply:I can definately answer question 2 for you!
- The older theory is correct in the sense that the parents "bloodlines" do mix like two liquids that blend. Take for example a white rose and a red one- When you put them together, using the older theory, every single one of their offspring would be pink.
While Mendel proved that red roses and white roses do make pink roses, he further proved that not all their offspring would be pink thus discrediting the older theory.
Genes (or genetic particles) do play a part. Mendel discovered that when crossing a red rose with a white rose only 50% of the offspring would be pink while 25% would be white and 25% red.
While this is just a basic example (Mendel actually used pea plants and fruit flies) it illustrates Mendels theory and 1:2:1 ratio.

Is it too late to plant tulip bulbs in state of Maryland as of Jan. 13 '07?
Tulip bulbs can still be planted if they will get the required coldness to help them when it is time for them to show their tips. Tulips need the cold plus the period of dormancy to produce. You basically can plant bulb for spring till the ground freezes and we have that yet to happen here on the east coast be it Pa or else where. I would give it a shot you have nothing to loose really except for maybe if the rains keep up them rotting. Keep that in mind since we have also been very wet. Let us know how it turns out if you do try it. I would love to know.

What do the planting instructions say on the package of bulbs? If it doesn't say, then look up that info on the internet %26amp; it should tell.
Reply:If the ground is not frozen you can plant tulips.
Reply:Nope. They say to do it in the Fall because they figure the ground will be too hard (frozen). It's warm enough to be able to dig, but cold enough to keep them dormant. You'll be fine to do it now.
Reply:you can put them in as soon as the ground is free of frost.
Reply:WELL WITH THE WEATHER AVERAGE TEMP SO FAR IS 50 SOMETHING YOU COULD HAVE A SHOT! THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS ARE OUT SO WHY NOT !
Reply:As far as I understand the rule of thumb is when the fall flowers are blooming plant your spring bulbs. And when you spring flowers are blooming plant your fall bulbs. Tulips are spring bulbs so it is too late now.
