No, but the lining might Pete!

Erm.........I assumed bulbs planted through holes in lining, not
wishing to insult the OP's intelligence

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!
Good point. However, I have been trying to get rid of bluebells for 2 years
now. Still got them coming up under stone slabs, working sideways till they
find a way out.
