About Bulbs
- Bulbs are usually round.
- The shoot is in the centre of the bulb.
- In winter even if the stem, flowers and leaves have gone the bulb is still alive underground.
- Sometimes roots have more than one bulb.
- In winter the bulb is dormant waiting for warmer weather to start growing again.
