Bulbs

A bulb is a type of plant that grows over winter and comes up at spring. A bulb is a plant in a

package with every thing it needs. It's wrapped up with its food. It eats part of itself to survive.

A bulb has a plant inside itself.

Bulbs need lots of sunlight and water. Bulbs need very loose soil. A bulb has its own food to survive. To plant a bulb it takes time and work. The tunic protects the bulb. Inside a bulb is its food called scale leaves. On the bottom of the bulb is the basal plate. When the bulb is in the ground the roots come out of the basal plate. The tunic is just like tissue. In the very middle of the bulb there's this seasons leaves and flowers. When the bulb is in the ground and it has sunlight and water the leaves of the bulb will start to push itself up to the light. It comes up from the top. It takes two to three months to plant a bulb. When you plant a bulb it has to be in the ground about 5 - 10 cm.

Bulbs are a cool and interesting plant to have in your garden.
