Some of the biggest challenges that we run into, obviously, it's a plant. So trying to get plants to grow when you want them to is always a challenge. There are years that the tulips don't get enough of a cold season and won't bloom as well. There are times when there's a problem with the ball, and that whole type of daffodil I was expecting to see doesn't come up. There's also the huge challenge of hoping I can get everything to bloom at the same time. I can sing to them. I can dance to them. It really doesn't matter. They're on their own. What we do is mess with the temperatures to hopefully try to speed them along. Then if they're going too fast, to drop the temperatures back down to a cooler area to slow them down so they're ready for the show.
