Located in the western area of Zijingang Campus, Zhejiang University, is a small plot with pink tulips in bud or in blossom. These tulips are tended by three students from the College of Agriculture and Biotechnology. The newly-imported tulip bulb from the Netherlands is as large as an egg, but it will be reduced to the size of a quail egg due to nutrition absorption after one-year growth. The degenerated bulb cannot bloom for lack of nutrients, so new bulbs will have to be imported from the Net...
