Oregon: "crummy cold spring" delays tulips

Tip-Toe Through the Tulips! -- PLANTWISE

Last year at this time, we were enjoying the late-flowering lily and parrot tulips. But this spring has been so miserably cold and wet that we even have some of the early and species tulips flowering.

If there’s a benefit to a crummy cold spring, it would be this: you can catch the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Woodburn for an extra week – it’s been extended through May 8th this year due to the wet, cold weather delaying the tulips.
