I hasten to add that after a number of years all the tulips I have are still
blooming freely, although the dark purple ones I planted 7 years ago are
only producing flowers half the size of the ones they did in their first
year. I would be very disappointed if I got less than 5 years worth of
repeat blooming from a tulip. Mind you, my double whites are now all
blooming as singles but I hear that's not uncommon with Tacoma.
