RIP my little tulip baby

Well, she's all grown up! Big, tall, and beautiful. I feel like a proud mother on the first day of kindergarten or on graduation day, but she is mine. I brought her as a small bulb all the way back from a tulip garden/market in Amsterdam- she was one of the few that US customs didn't trash because apparently plants have to have a special seal of approval. But anyways...I planted her, watched her grow into a beautiful spring tulip! Me and my roommate even named her...Tuilee. But unfortunately due to the smoke storm on Thursday, she is gone. Today she withered up, the wind blew her leaves off, and she died. I guess she lives a long, strong three weeks, but its a little disappointing! Oh well, what can you do...travel back to the tulip market, buy some more bulbs, and plant them next spring......
