It looks like my 'gift' tulips are going to do just fine! Here's how they look today - 6 weeks after planting! I sunk two of the pots in the ground by the patio, where I plant usually banana trees in May. I figure the tulips will be done by the time it's warm enough for banana trees.

The pots in the ground appear to have pink tulips. The square pot looks like it will contain a nice, clear yellow variety. The concrete pot has yellow tulips edged with orange - very unique!

I'm really happy with this 'freebie' and I learned a lesson (I think) - properly stored, tulips can be saved, planted in March and still bloom 'in season'!
