I planted tulips first time

Well in the deep south where I used to live, tulips were not really planted. I finally decided to try some Up Here in north Mississippi. I bought some red ones at Lowe's (on sale) in the fall, put the bag out in the unheated garage, and got around to planting them in late January. They are just gorgeous and have been going strong a few weeks. The foliage came up late Feb, and it is just so pretty, curving or curling like canna lily foliage. The blooms started around March 9. I don't know how many years they will last, or if they will decline or just rot (I'm definitely not planning to dig them up -- or should I?), but my husband and I are sure enjoying them. I bet my neighbors are too, becoz they are going in little clumps here are there throughout my whole front border, just tying everything together so prettily. Love 'em!
