You should not pull the whole thing out. When it turns yellow, just cut off the leaves just above the ground. But wait until it turns yellow, because after the flower blooms, but the leaves are still green, they are helping to feed the bulb so it will be strong for next year. When it turns yellow, it is ready to be cut off.
As far as the tiny bulbs attached, that is normal too. Bulbs multiply quite a bit. That just means that you will have even more beautiful tulips to look at next year and even more the next year, etc.
Enjoy, cut off the flowers as soon as they don't look good anymore (because they will go to seed and it isn't good for the bulb). Then as soon as the leaves start looking bad too, cut them off right above the ground. This may take several days or weeks, because they all progress at different rates. Not a hard job though.
Reply:You can carefully break off those smaller bulbs, and replant them, and you'll get more tulips
Reply:Separate and replant them, I love tulips!
