I got these tulips as a gift about a week ago, they started blooming a day or two later, and several of the flowers already seem to be shriveling. I’ve watered the plant once in that time. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

    So the flowers are shriveling got it 👍 but the leaves also look like they are curling upwards, which is a sign of under-watering. You should water your tulips once per week for the first month after planting, then leave the plants alone until springtime. Begin watering again in the springtime, when the leaves appear. This may be confusing, but now that leaves are appearing, and it is now springtime, water them… don’t be afraid. Try watering from the bottom method, set the container in a shallow container of water and let the roots soak of all the water they need. If the water is gone fast, refill for more water until the plant is done taking in the water. Hope this helps ❤️‍🩹
