Last fall, I reported about a project carried out by students in Bill Miller’s herbaceous perennials class at Cornell planting a bulb labyrinth at our Bluegrass Lane research center. Here’s what it looked like just before the bulbs went in.
With temps up in the 60s today and another photo opp at the facility, I wandered out to see if anything was poking up. I got nothin’ but what you’d expect during mud season:
Bill says that since the bulbs are newly planted, they’re flowering will likely be a little late this first season. But we’re planning to open the facility so the public can view and walk the labyrinth on Mothers Day and perhaps the Sundays before and after.
Stay tuned for more images as the labyrinth grows over the next few weeks.
Gosh, I’d be worried about my bulbs rotting if I saw something like that.
I think it looks kind of cool… with the sky reflected in the water like that.
It looks beautiful without any bulbs showing!
I stumbled upon the image of this labyrinth and wondered how it was made. I want to construct one at our local state agricultural center in Tolland CT. Can you please help with some info? Mary
