Below: 2018, May 4, showing the decline since 2016.

The pictures below are grouped by section, 2017, then 2018, then 2019. You can see where tulips did not come up Spring 2017 (pictures taken 4/20/2017) or 2018 (mid to late May). By the time I got to taking the pictures, the 2018 blooms were long gone. I did better in 2019.
