I have lots arriving this week, always an exciting time.
My order has been despatched. I am resisting the urge to keep looking out the window for the delivery van. I've not ordered many for the last few years but I've had some success with rodent protection rig-ups I've been trying out, so thought I'd give them another go. To the OP - I have clay soil and most bulbs grow fine. Have a look at camassias. They seem very happy in heavy soil and will extend the season a bit, flowering later

@Fairygirl@punkdoc I have zero success with both the snake and the imperials... I always believed it was my conditions, clearly now I might have to accept that the conditions aren't the problem and there's the small, surprising possibility that I'm doing something not entirely right and perfect
I realized I have to go dig up my imperials anyway, I put them in the wrong place and nowhere near deep enough.
