I miss tulips from our years on the east coast and it sounds like these don't decline over the years as the larger hybrids do.

I planted some years ago but either they've disappeared or (as has happened with other bulbs) they are running a couple of weeks later here than where you are. Fascinating how we live so close and yet our microclimates have us on differing bloom schedules, isn't it? <br /><br />I have a few leafings out that I'm unsure of the identities for around our beds.
