Spring flowers across Illinois have already begun to bloom. And at one farm in Spring Grove,"a 12-acre tulip treasure trove" will soon be open.This year, the farm predicts it could have as many as one million flowers in bloom.
“We’re especially excited because we’re predicting we’ll have a million flowers in bloom this year,” George Richardson said in a statement earlier this month. “We’ve planted 300,000 tulip bulbs each year for three years. The bulbs that were among the first to be planted are having babies. So, this year should really be something to see.”Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
Richardson said that while all one million likely won't bloom at the same time due to different varieties being planted at various times, he expects at least 300,000 to be ready by the opening day. "We have anxiously been looking at and walking through our tulip fields and counting the growing-degree days," he said in a statement, adding that the farm expects the tulips will remain in bloom through May 7"and hopefully beyond that."
