i live in new england and it gets pretty cold in winter but i've never taken them out of the ground and they come up every year some people i know take the bulbs out in october and refrigerate them until spring and replant.

i just leave them and they come back

Oh mokety. They are beautiful. I love tulips and daffodils but the chipmunks and squirrels seem to think it is breakfast buffet around here.:?
Yes you leave them in the ground. To conserve the energy of the tulip you let the plant go dormant after it flowers and then in the beginning of summer you are supposed to just tie the stems and they will eventually die down to the ground but just don't cut the stems off right away or it may not have enough energy to replenish itself.

Me too. I have all kinds of irises around here. They are one of my favourite bulb flowering plants.
I also have wild irises that I scooped from the forest.
We should share sime gardening pics once spring starts.......
