I don't know how it is in your area, but I'm in Maryland and someone suggested going to my grocery store for free buckets and lo and behold, they gave me 4. I was only looking for one because I'm a home gardener, but I wasn't going to turn them down. Free may be better than waiting for your online source to get more stock. I don't know if it's an available source in every state but maybe worth a try.
The tulips look great!!

I found that the tulips I pulled and that did not have the bulb attatched still kept closed and fresh for several days in water in the fridge.

[@SunshineFlora]

Good to know!

[@cherierangel7459]

When you leave the bulbs attached, when you cut off, do you keep them and plant for next season?
If the stem breaks and remains in the ground, do you dig up and keep for next season?
Thank you so much! Love your videos!

[@SunshineFlora]

I will dig up the bulbs and compost them. The bulbs I cut off the tulips will also be composted. I will plant new bulbs next year!

[@cherierangel7459]

Also, are you dry storing these so they last until sale? How long will those last?

[@SunshineFlora]

Tulips can last a couple weeks in the fridge, maybe more!
