Look everyone, tulip bulbs for USA! Now, I haven’t checked out the details behind this curious sign, but it is curious, no? Are the rules different for bringing tulip bulbs to the US compared to every other country? I know the rules for people are, but does this hold for flowers?

I have never attempted to bring items on the “alert” list back to the US with me. I don’t want to risk any type of interrogation (although once in Texas I was quizzed about how much alcohol (?) I had returned with).

But with such an intriguing announcement smack dab in the middle of the flower market, an export might be work checking out.
