LOL. Actually, I think the problem last year came when the bulbs were harvested - I think they were mis-labeled at the grower, because the packages were marked "Mrs. John Scheepers", but the bulbs were obviously "Maureen".

Although they weren't what I ordered or wanted, the white tulips were beautiful - so beautiful, in fact, that I tried to save them by digging them in June and holding them in my basement over the summer.

I planted 750 of the largest bulbs from last spring in this bed as an experiment to see what I get next spring. I normally just dig and toss my bulbs each year, but if this works for me, I'll be saving more in the future.
