    Tulip question

    My boyfriend's mom got me some tulips for Easter. I moved them into a bigger pot and have kept them watered. Now all the blooms have fallen off and I was just wondering what I need to do now. Do I need to cut them to get it to re-bloom? Just leave it alone? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
