I got about 20 parrot tulip bulbs this year to try. Will see if they will return next year. I think the reason tulips return well for you Liz is that you must have low humidity in your area to prevent dormant tulip bulbs to rot. Annette and I being on the eastern part of the US has too much humidity and heat in the air and maybe soil during the summer months so that the tulips can't make it through the dormant stage without succumbing to rot.
