In the fall of 2014 I planted tulips every 6 inches around the rose garden

and it's way late . So today I dug up where I know i planted two of them -
and there's no bulb , nothing . No tunnels like maybe the ground squirrel or
moles or something got them , just nothing there . I've never noticed any
digging like squirrels got them , no tunnel bumps like moles/voles/ ground
squirrels often leave but they're gone .
Anybody have any theories on where they went ?


Well, sometimes bulbs and tubers and corms simply fail to survive and rot
away. If the conditions are right there won't be much to see after they do.
