Awww... that is a crime (in every sense) Eric :'(

The leaves appear first. I wonder if the flower stems push up later?

I inspected them just now and the leaves have pushed up about 1 1/2 inches since they were chewed off so I think (hope) we will get flowers but the leaves will have flat tops instead of pointed  :)

It will be interesting to see how they recover from that ordeal Eric.
Do they come back each year with your tub culture?

Those bulbs remained in from last year. When they died down we planted pansies on top. I will be interested to see how they fare this year because normally we dig them up, lie them in a little trench until the leaves have died then we keep them in a dark dry place ready for planting the following season. At Chenies Manor where they put on a spectaculer show of tulips each year they never replant them, they always buy new. The bulbs from the previous year lie drying on a barn floor and the staff are allowed to help themselves.
