Tulip bulbs are very tasty to a variety of animals. If your bulbs don't come back, most likely they have been eaten by squirrels, mice, voles, rabbits even deer. And Tulips normally last just a few years anyway if not been someone's snack. Daffs on the other hand can last and naturalize for eons. Planting your Tulips among Daffs which are distasteful to animals can help.

" If a door opens to the left from the outside then it's to the right from the inside, so I'm not sure that would be the deciding factor vs. the space into which it swings. " Oftentimes keys are held when opening a front door. When doing so with right-side hinges, a righty needs to stand a bit to the left of the door's left edge to hold the key straight out. If there's a perpendicular wall immediately to the left of the door or otherwise no space to stand a bit to the side, that can't be done and left hinge-right side opening hardware would be easier in use. One of my kid's houses has just that arrangement, a perpendicular wall right at the edge of the door frame and so left hinges and right hardware. My two current places and ones I've owned before all had right hinge/left hardware arrangements. By my quick count, about 2/3rds of the doors pictured, where the hardware is clearly visible, were right hinge and left hardware ones. No right or wrong way but one way seems would be more convenient for the more numerous righties.
