Will my tulip bulbs die if I try to transplant them while they are in bloom?

0 1
A friend wants to give me a bunch of tulips to plant in my yard.  They are already blooming in his yard.  Can I dig up the bulbs while they are in bloom and replant them in my yard, or will it kill the bulb?

It won't kill the bulb but the flower might die off, but it will come back again next year............when you plant them use some bone meal and mix black or red pepper in the dirt to keep the squirrels from digging them up.
