Grow My Pretties...GROW!

I know to many of you I am a tragic, unsympathetic, pathetic, and souless figure but I will have you know that I have my softer side as well.  You can see that by the magnificent tulips that I can grow. To be honest, the tulips did most of the growing on their own but I verbally encouraged them which is how you need to be sometimes with the tulips. Of all your flowering annuals they have the lowest self-esteem. They never feel like they are pretty enough or smart enough when compared to other flowers like that show-off, the Sunflower. Don't get me started on the arrogance of the Sunflower.
