    I would guess gophers or another rodent ate them all.

    Next time try daffodils, they're poisonous and so are left alone.

    I'd have to agree with Chris, but I feel so sorry that all your bulbs are gone! I can just imagine how beautiful 400 tulips would have looked had they all grown. Tulips are one of my favorites!

    Is this why I can't get rid of my daffodils? I hate them and have dug them up repeatedly, but they just won't go away! The last few years, I've just given up, and so of course I have many more now. Bleh.

    Awww, that's so sad. Hopefully you'll be able to find an explanation and have better luck in the future.

    As chris said the problem might be rodents. But I also know that over crowded growing may also create a problem as then most tulips cant survive and they have to fight for space....Also because of their growing cycle many experts suggest that the tulip bulbs should actually be removed in june and then replanted again in september....
    So the problem might have been any of the above...
    hope this helps........

    Too bad I don't live near you! I buy as many daffodils as I can afford. Be sure to invite your friends and neighbors to come and dig them up for their own gardens - they will love you.

    Since some of the bulbs were productive, you might look at location. The tulips that actually grew may be in a better location for growth!

    Try to check out this link Tulip: http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/bulbs/qa.html, it has major questions about the problems faced regarding the tulip plantation being answered. I even checked out : http://www.backyardgardener.com/plants/tulip.html which has information too about gardening.
