my tulips are in a container and up out of ground 3 inches can i transplant them now into another container? and will they still bloom this year

Doug says yes, you can transplant them carefully and yes they will bloom this year. How you handle them in the container determines whether you get to keep them in bloom again (see articles on potted tulips).

But yep, you can do this if done carefully with a minimum of root disturbance at this early time in the spring
