Thanks Kara!
We mulch w/ leaves but didn't really add a special amount to the bed.
There is though an overhang that stops most rain from hitting that bed.
The ones we left in more exposed areas did not come back.
They rotted in the ground.
I'd try pulling a few bigger bulbs for indoor winter storage and leaving the rest.
Winter storage is actually fairly simple.
We've done it for 5 years w/ no casualties.
