Bulbs

A bulb is a plant wrapped up in a material tissue. A plant needs food but bulbs are all set for the winter. They always have something to eat.

When you want to plant bulbs you can get different types of flowers. There are daffodils, anemones, freesias and tulips. But you don't have to feed bulbs because they have carbohydrates and scale leaves.

When you get them from the shops they don't have any roots so when you put them in the ground water them and leave them for a bit. And then water them the next day and when they start growing the roots will shoot out from the basal plate so don't take them out of the ground. During winter, they grow and in spring you will see a big change. You will see some green coming out of the ground and it might start growing flowers!

Out the back of Room 13 we have planted some bulbs: daffodils, freesias and anemones. We can't wait until they grow!
