I'll answer for him from experience.
No. Tulips and daffodils are perennials. The bulbs bloom every year.
I brought some bulbs back form Amsterdam for the 'rents. Supposed to be black, but in fact dark purple. Still, they stand out among the red and yellow

One of the things I like to see is where gardens are not completely loved by new inhabitants, but the perennials come up anyway. It's more likely in Indian/ Pakistani households, where gardens are kept tidy but not tended. British/ white households tend to let the whole thing go, so you can't see the flowers even if they do come up for the litter and plastic bags strewn about.
