Yes, Tulips!

So I'm not sure--is this normal for Pocatello if you have good early season tulips, or is it super-early? Probably as early as I've noticed them?

I've only been working with bulbs the last few years--first several years it was strictly perennials.

Along the ditch by my driveway, someone at some point spread a ton of random tulip bulbs. These bulbs have, over the course of time, moved, died, been accidentally dug up and never re-planted, choked under 3' of grass, etc etc.

I've got random tulip bulbs close to 100 yards (that's a football field, right?) away from my house. I think squirrels like to plant them as much as I do these days.

So recently I started bulbs. Ugh. Same trial and error as everything else. These bulbs coming up now, for example, are like deer caviar, apparently.

Can I move bulbs in the spring?? Anyone who knows please post!
