I have these wonderful double tulips that bloom like roses, they are red and the other yellow. I dug them up last year when they appeared to be wilting but this year hardly any came up. I notice there were a lot of single "leaves" that popped out, so did I mess up or do something wrong and will these single leaves one day be my tulips which pop up? I don't want to separate the other bulbs again in case I get none at all come up next year...if there's any technique to separating bulbs I'd like to know, as I've planted many bulb varieties this year which one day I'll want to propogate I'm sure.

I guess I should say I dug them up to separate them with the intention of having more this year.

The first question for you is: Where do you live??
Tulips require cold in winter, preferably snow!! If they do not get enough cold, they will NOT bloom the second year. A few leaves may appear, but no flowers!
I live in California and I have to treat tulips as annuals only!!
Separating your bulbs had nothing to do with them not appearing.
Good Luck!!

You might have just stunned them this year. There's not much you can muss up, just cut them in half.
