Are all bulbs from Holland/the Netherlands?

How do I keep squirrels out of my tulips and crocus?
Don't plant tulips and crocus. Instead plant narcissus and daffodils, scilla and grape hyacinths. Squirrels are not interested in them. Also you can place chicken wire over the bulbs after planting to prevent squirrels from digging them up.
