Why have why have my tulips come up with flowers only no leaves.

    Some species do that, the leaves will appear later.

     Thank you, I’ll look out for them,do you advise to dig the bulbs up after the leaves die down and dry them for next year or dispose of them altogether?

    If they're species tulips [and it's quite likely at this time of year] they're hardy and can be left in the ground.  :)
    If they're the bigger, blousy types, they tend not to do well year on year, so you may want to do that, but you'd wait until the foliage has died down, and you'd need to be sure you can store them well enough.

    So nice to have positive human communications after the last couple of years. My garden has kept me sane and responsible.

    I think it's been a source of pleasure for a lot of people @fishannon, and if the forum provides you with a bit of chat as well as advice or info, that's even better  :)
