last year i lost a whole row of tulip buds to the squirls or maybe it was a rabbit? The buds all came up and were about 2 days from opening and then they were all chopped off at the head. Some thing must really like the sweet flowers.
If I cut off a tulip bud before it opens with it then open in water?
Your flowers should open if cut and put in water. Try getting a can of cayenne pepper to spread around your tulips. Just by chance it may chase the critters away.
Also, if you are familiar with the tiny garlic tops that grow on garlic, plant them in between your flowers. This may help defer some types of bugs.
Reply:put coffee grounds around them - animals don't like it and the flowers love it
Reply:They should open for you if they are fully developed and colored. I put little circular cages around my tulips to protect them from rabbits, but if the deer come by, I am out of luck.
