“You know my method. It is founded upon the observation of trifles.” - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
No fancy lesson plan here, just the fun of taking things apart and looking inside. Don't worry. No garden perennials were harmed in this project. I read on a decor blog that forced potted bulbs were an inexpensive way to buy spring flowers so we had several. It turns out forced bulbs don't transplant well. As the blooms faded we made some cross sections to label.
