Why do all my tulips look like they've been hole punched?

[Normalisavariantofcrazy]

Just that really. My tulips are coming out and all the flowers have perfect holes in them akin to someone going round them with a hole punch

What critters have done this and how do I stop them?

Could be earwigs ? Or slugs.

Yes, probably slugs and snails I expect. Might possibly be caterpillars, some can be really tiny.

Put out bit of slug bait (unless your organic) or go out at night with a torch, and see if you can find the culprits!

It doesn't sound as if this is the problem, but it's always good to be on the lookout for tulip fire.

Sorry.

I won't do it again...
