Should I keep tulip bulbs that didn't flower this year, or replace them with new?
My tulip bulbs have not made any flowers this spring, maybe due to lack of sun and/or phosphorus. Is there any chance they will make flowers next year if I give them phosphorus and more sun, or should I just throw them away?

Potted tulips are drying up
This is the first time I bought tulip bulbs and I kept them inside, beside the window.
Recently I got flowers.
But, the flowers are there for only 2-3 days before they started drying up.
Is this normal ? Or, am I doing something wrong ?

Tulip Regeneration
Happy Mother's Day. I suspect a Mother somewhere is enjoying my Tulips.
Overnight, someone clipped and made off with my bloomed tulips.

What to do with Tulip bulbs bought in the summer?
I normally plant bulbs in the fall however I was just in Amsterdam and the tulip bulbs were so cheap I couldn't resist!
