Determined Tulips
I was clearing away some of the dried leaves from the newly sprouting tulips when I noticed one leaf wouldn't pull away. On looking closer I could see that two determined tulips had poked their way right through the leaf. I didn't have the heart to pull the leaf away once I noticed all the hard work they had gone to. I'm going to leave the leaf there and see what happens as the tulips continue to grow.

Now, that is determination. :)
I love it when that happens! It shows just how determined they are. I'm sure it will produce a beautiful flower.
It's amazing how strong (and sharp) those new leaves are! It will be interesting to see if the tulip will be able to grow normally, or be restricted by it's new leafy skirt.
This is nice. Great shot.
I'm going to track how the tulips grow with some more photos, and I'll post them in a few days time.
Glad you grabed your camera so we could see it for ourselves.
How unusual.
Page Elements fixed now - thought you might like to know. It was right to stick it out.
Crafty, the same thing happened here. It's just amazing to me, I wonder if the leaf is that heavy or the tulip is that pointy?
I'm always finding Trilliums like that - strangled almost! Always have to free them, of course. :)
