Tulips Did Not Survive Freeze

The photo above was from last year. The tulips were in full bloom in April. We have had several nights of freezing weather lately. I covered the plants. But they don't seem to be surviving. Only a few green stalks left. Oh well, maybe next year will be a better year for the tulips.

Oh No! Tulips are beautiful flowers. I'm crocheting tulips now, actually.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes I do for sure. These are in the front and I spend most of my time in the back.

Sad to hear about it. Tulips are so beautiful and expensive at store. Only Safeway, I've found them, 9.99 for 10 flowers.

@CarolDM I had a typo, should be 10 flowers not 29! Pardon.

Thank you. Sounds like a good price. They should last awhile.

Oh there’s no chance of them to wake up again? Heard they become dormant during winter and would wake up in the spring.

I suppose there is still hope. We will see. Yes they are dormant in the winter. Bu time already had the green stalks out of the ground when the freeze hit.

Sorry to hear about your lovely tulips. Does this mean you have to replant for next year or will they just pop up again? Still learning about gardening here

Thanks they should come back next year. I have thought about adding more but I spend more time in the back garden. These are in the front.

Aww, sorry they didn't survive. Do they only bloom in the beginning of April?

Poor tulips. We had potatoes in the ground and I do not think they are going to make it.

That is rough, I feel bad for the poor little tulips. I wonder if they will come back to life and perhaps bloom if the weather turns warmer.
