After removing the lawn and replacing it with a lining then gravel

No, but the lining might Pete!

Erm.........I assumed bulbs planted through holes in lining, not wishing to

Yes but what happens when the bulbs create offsets? You know how e.g.
Daffodils and bluebells spread and naturalise themselves? They might not be
able to all crowd through the original hole!
