When the snow hit my tulips were in full bloom and I didn't know how or if they could survive. When I was staring at them this morning they actually looked rather depressed....very droopy (sp?). Anyhow, I took two pictures to share with all of you and maybe you can give me your opinion as to whether or not they'll survive a few more weeks.
Keep in mind I won't be upset if they don't make it, I'm actually wanting to get rid of them and replace them with rose bushes. The tulips reside in the garden in the front of the house. Last summer I was in the middle of tearing out that garden before I had my appendix removed and once I fully healed from that surgery I never went back to the garden. So, once the tulips go away I plan on ripping them out and completing my work. Anyway, here are those photos:

They will actually survive. The droop may go away with another day of sun.
To kill them just pull them out. To keep them growing you leave the greenery til it goes brown so taking them should bump them off.
Lucky you, getting to grow tulips, it's near impossible here with the heat. I'm trying Irises this year and planted about nine rose bushes in the shady parts of the house. You'll see a picture of a recent bloom on our gardening blog.
