i don't think you would get much satisfaction from kissing these tulips. while at work the other day they were getting ready to throw out some past bloomed tulips. well knowing that they are perennials and have a bulb you can plant i decided it would be worth a shot to drop them in the soil. so for a cheap price i picked them up. her is a pic of the spot i picked to plant them and you can see the potted tulips in banana boxes.
here's the tulips set out in their designated spots, i got 18 pots with 6 bulbs to a pot. while standing in line a little old lady inquired as to what i was going to do with these tulips. i said i was going to try and plant them, she then let me know that she was a Master Gardener, and that this move was brave but would be well worth it if they took. she then told me to bury them about 3-4 inches and to mulch them to help protect them from the cold. i didn't not know if i should cut them down or leave the tops exposed? anyone out there with incite i would be obliged if you would enlighten me.
here they are separated and in there place, as you can see it was getting dark, so i mulched them with leaves(which i had plenty of with it being fall and all), and called it a night. rain was in the forecast for the next day so i figured id let mother nature do what it does best.
