Probably a silly question, but i have a bunch of tulips that look just about to bloom, and tomorrow we are supposed to get 1 to 2 inches of rain, and high winds.
should i be doing something to protect them - and if so, what?
these are my 1st tulips i've ever grown, so i feel protective. They came through the recent frosts with no help from me, though. i also have fritallaria (sp?) and muscari coming in with them, but they are so much closer to the ground i am not as worried.
thanks...

(i have a lot of other tulips sprouting, but still just 3 or 4 inches, so i am not so concerned. i am wondering why none of the anemones i planted in the fall are coming up. aren't they meant to come up earlier than tulips?)
tulips and rainstorm
My anemones didn't come up either. I don't know if it was something I did wrong or if we're just not suited to having them grow well for us.
For the tulips: Provided you can make it outside in this weather, you could put a large box over the tulips and cover it with a tarp and a few bricks.
