When I completed my high school student teaching, one of the gifts the students from the gifted class gave me were yellow potted tulips. I loved this gift for multiple reasons: tulips are one of my favorite flowers, and potted plants are so much better than cut flowers because you can plant them in the yard and keep them. I transplanted them into an empty planter and hoped for the best. I wasn't sure where they were purchased, but I know that many potted plants designed as gifts aren't always sutable for transplanting - designed to look really great at the time of purchase, yet not always the heartiest of plants. When the flowers, leaves, and stems immediatley wilted I thought my tulips had died. I wasn't sure if the bulbs were still good though, so I left them in the planter on my back patio.
I had really forgotten about them (because I thought they were dead), until I was outside today:

I am really very happy that they are growing back! I love having this reminder of my excellent student teaching experience.
