@Watermint: Yes! Every year we get tulip bulbs from the Netherlands and we plant them in the fall. Once the spring comes, they began to grow. In May, we have a festivial called the Tulip Festivial (such an original name XD) where people come from all over the world to view and take pictures of the tulips. We have other events during the festivial but they're different every year. But the star of the show are the tulips. And since we had summer weather in March, everything (not just tulips) bloomed early this year. ^^
