A flower bulb is a bit like an underground storage shed and a flower factory, all at the same time. It’s really interesting to discover how flower bulbs grow into flowers.

When the flower bulbs are planted, they are completely bare, with no leaves at all. Sometimes they have some roots though. Inside the flower bulbs, there is everything that the plants need to start growing when the spring arrives. Would you like to see inside a flower bulb? Why not take a look inside a flower bulb by cutting one of the bulbs in half with your class. First of all, you’ll see the flower bulb’s layers. That’s where all the food is stored that the flower bulb will need to grow. And right in the middle, you can find a tiny flower. In the spring, that tiny flower will grow into a beautiful and colorful full-size flower in your school garden or playground.
