I want to build a butterfly/Hummingbird Garden. I would like to know what kind of flowers do butterflies and hummingbirds most attract to? I really want to do this, its a way to help keep different butterflies and Hummingbird speices serve. If anyone has any tips they will surely be taking into consideration.

I have tulips which recently have flowers, but i dont know where to keep them, how often to water them. And in which kind of a pot should i keep them?

This happens every time I plant tulip bulbs… The first season they come up they are beautiful. Tall, full blooms.

Each year after, they seem more and more clumped, like they are strangling each other. They also have shorter stems and scanty flowers.

This does not happen with my hyacinths. They are lovely and full year after year.

What is happening with my tulips? Do other bulbs do this as well?

I just bought a house and it has 6 rose bushes on it. I have never worked with roses let a lone in a garden. I am clueless. I am not even sure they are roses. It has thorns but the flower comes in batches of 3. The flower looks like a rose so I am just assuming.

I also see a vine growing around one of the bushes which I am trying to cut of it. Is that okay? All the bushes are out of direct sunlight and seam to be doing well. At the tipes of some of the bushes the stems look dead. Should I trim the stems that have no leaves? Should I cut of the flowers after a few days? How often should I water them? Again any info is good info. I am a putz when it comes to gardening.
I am in western New York.

i recently purchased some potted tulips from trader joe’s. i transplanted them into a larger pot about a week ago. they are by a window, but not in direct light. they get water three times a week. however, the leaves are turning yellow at the ends. the flowers, which are pink, are starting to look purple \around the edges. what am i doing wrong?
