    Get them into the ground or pots as soon as possible. They'll just dry out and be of no use for next year. They need to have a chance to build up their reserves for the following year, so although they might not come to much now, it gives them a chance for the future.

    Tulips often deteriorate anyway over time (apart from the species and bog standard red and yellow ones) so many people grow them as annuals. Depends on the variety they are  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Thank you ,

    They are really nice firm clean bulbs so I was thinking I may as well plant them and hope they come up next spring, the tulips are Saint George
