My daughter gave my wife a LARGE pot of beautiful yellow tulips.
I think it's too late for them here in Chicago.

How can I save them, plant them, whatever to have them bloom again next
year.

When the blooms fade, dump the clump into a hole you've dug outdoors,
maintaining the same soil level. Water and fertilize, remove any fruits
that start to form. Mark the clump, and in the fall, dig, split and replant
just like purchased bulbs. Chances are, you won't get much of a bloom
from them next year, but if you're a pretty good gardener, with a fair amount
of luck, they'll rebloom well the following year.
