         No, but the problem with leaving them in the ground is that squirrels like to eat them.  You can prevent this by covering the area the bulbs are in with wire mesh and a layer of mulch.  Also, when your tulips are done blooming, don't cut off the stalks, because they're manufacturing food that will be stored in the bulbs and used for the next year's blooms.
