I saw bags of fancy tulip bulbs at Wal-mart today, marked down from $10
or $11 to $1.99. The ground is not frozen here yet but I assume it's
too late to plant them because the ground will freeze before they get
rooted good.
Do tulips do well forced indoors? I know they would need to be
refrigerated, although I'm not sure for how long. Thanks for any info.

I'd go for it, unless you're in the mood to force bulbs. An old faq:

I bought all my bulbs on sale last year and planted them late. They all
came up just fine. I'm in Indiana.

A. Why did WalMart mark them down? Could they be, uh, un-good?
B. Why would you, or anybody, want to shop at WalMart?

Because they are clearing them out -- it's past their season. The bulbs
look perfectly healthy.

It's the only place in town to buy Cabot cheese, which I like very much.
