    I believe you can pull them up at anytime, just don't cut off the leaves until they have naturally died back. If you can, put them in pots of dirt as is to give them a chance of finishing their blooming and dying cycle as naturally as possible.

    I just last week pulled some Daffs,

    I hope to do the same with some giant white Tulips.

    The Daffs carried on flowering..... :D
