Tulips

I bought these yesterday when I was in Zamelek with Undercovercairo and we both commented that it was strange that they still had the bulbs attached..I see my brother busboy in Scotland also bought and blipped tulips yesterday!  When I was putting them in the vase today I wasn't sure whether to cut the bulbs off or not.  As you can see, I left them on which meant I had to find a huge vase for them. Luckily, they fitted into this one.  Should I cut off the bulbs? 

Had to work today to make up for the classes the other day when we were evacuated because of no water. It might be a long week! Dinner was the leftovers from last night's Indian and just the job on a cold night.
